DOMAINE JONES Sweet Muscat 2019 50cl

Style
Sweet but not overly so.

Description
Reminds me so much of harvest time, elderflower, honeysuckle, peaches, apricots, like a bunch of ripe muscat grapes freshly picked from the vine. We kept our muscat sweet (but not overly so), light and refreshing with only 10% alcohol. It is pure delight so when you fancy something special treat yourself to a seriously chilled glass of Jones muscat, close your eyes and dream of southern France.

Grapes
Muscat Petit Grain (the smaller and sweeter kind).

Drink with
Friends. All you need is a balmy evening, a bowl of olives and hey presto! Also great as a dessert wine with light puddings.

More info
The first time I tried Muscat was at the local village fête about 20 years ago when I first arrived in Paziols. Served on tap in plastic glasses as the only alternative to lager, it was a baptism by fire. This was traditional Muscat de Rivesaltes – sickeningly sweet and dangerously alcoholic – the morning after I decided that should I ever make a muscat myself I would do it very differently!

Press reviews
"Beautifully fresh and pure."
The Wine Advocate, Jeb Dunnock

"It has fabulous white peach, lychee, and pineapple characteristics to go with a medium-bodied, clean, crisp and balanced profile on the palate."
