The Adam-Lieleg Gelber Muskateller Ried Oberer Kranachberg Südsteiermark DAC 2024 comes from one of the most distinctive sites in southern Styria, where the Illyrian climate, surrounded by cooling forests, creates ideal conditions for the grape variety. The calcareous sand and sandstone soils with crystalline components such as quartz and tourmaline give the Oberer Kranachberg vineyard a geologically exciting foundation that characterises the typicality of its origin. The Adam-Lieleg winery works with selective hand-picking and precise vinification in steel tanks, resulting in a Südsteiermark DAC that impresses with its clear lines and regional character. The balance between altitude, microclimate and sustainable cultivation ensures an authentic interpretation of the Gelber Muskateller.


In the 2024 vintage, this Gelber Muskateller presents itself as a clearly structured and precisely managed wine whose profile is significantly influenced by the geological conditions and the high-altitude climate of its vineyard. The quality-orientated vinification results in a harmonious, elegant interpretation of the grape variety, which shows its characteristic expressiveness at a drinking temperature of 9°C and impressively reflects the stylistic signature of the Oberer Kranachberg.

Tasting Note

Pale straw yellow in the glass with a fine silvery reflection. An overflowing bouquet of peonies, lemon verbena and a hint of mint on the nose. The palate reveals a spectacular fullness with a juicy, melting texture and clear, fruit-emphasised structure. The finish is silky, harmonious and long-lasting.

Residual sugar: 3.4 g/l

This Gelber Muskateller Südsteiermark DAC is perfect as an aperitif and ideally complements fine Asian dishes, especially Chinese rice dishes, where aromatic clarity and fresh structure are required. It is also an excellent accompaniment to salmon - whether gently cooked, smoked or as a tartare - as well as to light starters, summer salads, Mediterranean vegetable combinations and herb dishes. Its elegant style makes it a versatile white wine that expresses its origins in an impressive way, both for sociable occasions on the terrace and for light meals.
