Discover the grape variety: Aspiran
Aspiran is a grape variety whose first traces go back to Gallo-Roman times. Originally from the Languedoc region, it is not very common nowadays. It has many alternative names, including verdal, ribeyrenc and riveyrenc. The vine, which is more or less upright, has average vigor. The ripening of the second late period allows the picking of compact, winged, conical bunches of medium size. The berries are protected by a resistant, albeit thin, skin, which is distinguished by its plum-colored hue, but can also appear pink, gray or white. The flesh is delicious with its spicy and sweet taste and is rich in juice. When vinified, it gives a product with a delicate colour, slightly perfumed and fine in the mouth. Although it does not fear arid and rocky soils, Aspiran is sensitive to winter frosts.

The wine region of Württemberg
Württemberg is known as Germany's premier red wine region. With almost 11,500 hectares (28,500 acres) of vineyards, it is the fourth-largest wine region in the country. Found adjacent to Baden and South of Franken, Wüttemberg is a particularly hilly and rural wine-region. Almost 70-percent of Württemberg wines are red, predominantly made from Trollinger, SchwarzRiesling and Lemberger.
The word of the wine: Muscat blanc à petits grains
A white grape variety cultivated since antiquity on the shores of the Mediterranean, it is considered the noblest of the muscats. It is mainly used to make sweet wines, often from mutage. In France, it is the sole variety used in many natural sweet wines: muscat-de-frontignan, muscat-de-mireval, muscat-de-lunel, muscat-de-saint-jean-de-minervois, muscat-de-beaumes-de-venise, muscat-du-cap-corse. Combined with Muscat d'Alexandrie, it gives Muscat-de-Rivesaltes. It is also used to make sparkling white wines (clairette-de-die; moscato d'asti and asti spumante in Italy) and dry wines (alsace-muscat). Powerfully aromatic and complex, its wines evoke fresh grapes, roses, exotic fruits, citrus fruits and spices.
