Muscat Freyheit | Heinrich
Heinrich have always been one of Austria’s, if not Europe’s, most forward-thinking producers, and through their skin-contact, terracotta-bottled ‘freyheit’ or ‘freedom’ range- they are making some of the most exciting orange wines around. The Muscat Freyheit is complex and textural, and combines bright, luscious tropical fruit characters with a savoury, wild herbaceous tarragon note.
