Leitner Gelber Muskateller sparkling wine is synonymous with delicately fragrant Austrian sparkling wine, characterised by distinct varietal expression and artisanal precision. Made from Gelber Muskateller and vinified in the ‘Brut’ style, this cuvée combines aromatic intensity with elegant structure and lively freshness. The grapes are grown using conventional methods, with a clear focus on healthy grapes and precise processing. With an alcohol content of 12.5 per cent, this sparkling wine is well-balanced, lively and versatile. The recommended drinking window ranges from immediate enjoyment to around four years, offering both freshness and the potential for further development.


Maturation follows the traditional bottle-fermentation method with a nine-month yeast ageing period, which lends the sparkling wine depth, finesse and a harmoniously integrated effervescence. This classic method highlights the quality and ensures an elegant mouthfeel without overshadowing the aromatic lightness of the Yellow Muscat. Bottled with natural corks, this Yellow Muscat sparkling wine from Austria stands as a fine example of its style, with a distinct character and a precise balance between fruit, freshness and structure.
