Our Review
This is often a favourite dessert wine for me. Not too expensive, sweet enough, something a bit different (surprises people), and pairs well with many different desserts. Also not necessarily like drinking pure syrup.
Take note: This delicious dessert wine isn't in a small bottle, but a regular wine bottle. So you'll enjoy twice as much with twice the volume. Elysium Black Muscat 0.75CL is the result of two Americans who traded their busy, hectic jobs for the life of a winegrower. Andrew and Laurel founded this winery in 1975 in Madera, a small town in the heartland of California, roughly between the two world cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles. For nearly half a century, they invested and innovated in the winery. This is now paying off, including this sensational dessert wine.
The vineyards of Elysium Black Muscat
Elysium Black Muscat 0.75CL is made from Black Muscat. This is a dark Muscat grape, often found in dessert wines. The vineyards are located deep inland, so the sea has no influence. Here, the region is dry, warm, and the sun works overtime. This is ideal for Black Muscat, as it doesn't tolerate too much cold, especially later in the season. The grapes are carefully picked and undergo a rigorous process. After all, only the finest and best bunches are selected for Elysium Black Muscat 0.75CL. After fermentation, the dessert wine is lightly aged in French oak for approximately three months.Enjoy Elysium Black Muscat
Engage your senses with dessert wine, because this is truly a beauty. Your taste buds and nose will be in overdrive as soon as you pour a glass of Elysium Black Muscat 0.75CL. The perfect sweetness and creamy texture have made this wine famous worldwide. Nose it and be enchanted by the opulent bouquet. Red fruits form the base, but rose and fresh lychee also play a role. Time to take a sip of Elysium Black Muscat 0.75CL. Enjoy it with red fruit desserts or chocolate dishes for the perfect taste experience. You'll taste a generous amount of red fruit. Take another sip (and you'll want to, because you can't get enough of this). You'll taste juiciness, elegance, and fine acidity with a certain freshness. An absolute top choice in our selection.Product details
