Muscat is a Bulgarian grape variety obtained from the crossing of the Dimyat and Riesling varieties. Despite the close name to that of the Muscat variety, they have almost nothing in common. There are two varieties - white and red Muscat, and from both the resulting wine is white.
The most famous wines made from this variety are from the region of the Rose Valley and more precisely from the region of Karlovo. Karlovo Muscat is characterized by clarity and delicate pale green color.
It has an elegant and delicate aroma with a definite presence of floral notes, complemented by the aroma of yellow and white fruits, vanilla and rose.
Muscat red has a characteristic clear and pale golden color. The rich floral aroma enjoys hints of yellow and white fruits combined with tropical fruits. The balanced and fresh taste is disturbed only by the crunchy acids in it.
When served, like any other white wine, it must be chilled. The thin moment is determined by whether it has matured in a barrel.
If the wine has been aged in an oak barrel, it is cooled to 10-12 degrees before serving. If not, then the appropriate temperature is 8-10 degrees.
Of course, the temperature limits are indicative and can vary by 1-2 degrees up or down depending on your personal preferences, condition, etc. The recommended time for consumption of these wines is up to 3 years from the moment of bottling.
Muscat wine is best combined with interesting spring salads, fish appetizers, seafood with cream sauce, semi-hard cheeses. It is best for the summer season. It does not go with heavy foods and dishes.
Muscat wine is quite light with clearly emphasized fruity and / or floral aromas and a thirst-quenching aromatic finish. Therefore, there are foods of different styles and different levels of complexity that go perfectly with it.
As mentioned, seafood is a good choice, especially crustaceans and grilled or grilled fish, as well as seafood paste. Of the cheeses are recommended for hard and fragrant goat cheeses.
