Dalton Asufa Paradisia 2024

PARADISIA is a varietal wine made of Muscat of Alexandria – one of the most ancient varieties still in use today and common to the Mediterranean basin. The bright gold colour of this wine is the result of 7 months of skin maceration which offers a new layer of texture on top of the tropical, exotic and salty Muscat. This wine pairs beautifully with local foods.This wine was made the same way as whites wines a hundred years ago. After destemming, the must was allowed to ferment on skins, similar to how red wines are made. The fermenting wine was regularly punched down to keep the skins wet. Once dry, the wine was topped with about 10% Colombard and allowed to macerate on skins for a further seven months after which it was gently pressed out into old barrels to rest before bottling.
