Production & Heritage

Moldova sits between Romania and Ukraine and ranks among Europe's oldest winemaking regions, with a viticultural history stretching back thousands of years. The country's temperate continental climate and fertile black-earth soils are well suited to aromatic varieties like Muscat, which thrives in warm, sun-drenched conditions. Four Seasons Red Muscat draws on this heritage, utilizing the naturally perfumed Red Muscat grape — a dark-skinned member of the Muscat family prized for its intense aromatics and grapey sweetness.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose opens with pronounced floral notes — rose petal and orange blossom — followed by ripe red fruit and a distinctive musky, grapey perfume characteristic of the Muscat family. There is an inviting sweetness on the bouquet that signals the wine's approachable style.

Taste: The palate enters with bright strawberry and raspberry flavors, moving into softer cherry and candied fruit at the mid-palate. A gentle sweetness carries throughout, balanced by enough acidity to keep the wine from becoming cloying.

Finish: The finish is moderate in length, with lingering notes of red berry and a light floral echo. The texture remains soft and smooth as the fruit gradually fades.

How to Drink Four Seasons Red Muscat

Serve well chilled, between 45–50°F (7–10°C), to preserve its aromatic lift and keep the sweetness in balance. This wine is best enjoyed on its own or as part of lighter mixed drinks.
