TASTING NOTES

About This Wine

Fortant

Muscat

Muscat is a grape that is known for having a heady, rich nose. The winemakers at Fortant are drawing on four generations of winemaking expertise to draw out all the hidden subtleties in these wines. Harvested at night to keep the freshness, every part of the winemaking process is pursed with the purpose of keeping the beautiful floral notes. Saffron yellow in color, and featuring an explosive nose with flavors of lychee and rose, this is a great wine to savor on its own. We love the round and delectable flavors on the palate, especially the tropical fruit notes.

Wine Region

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
