品酒筆記：
(2016)
鮮明的梨子、芭樂、薄荷及月桂葉的香氣，為2016年份的木杉白酒揭開精采的序幕，隨後這些香氣凝聚集中，轉換成檸檬皮削的清新誘人，與熱帶水果的濃郁芬芳，尾韻昇華成清新涼爽的礦物氣息，餘韻細膩悠長。這個年份圓潤又平衡地詮釋木杉的獨特本質，真實表達她的多層風貌。
木杉2016是一款可口誘人的白酒，精巧的風味，適合搭配清爽的白蘆筍、黃瓜、布拉塔乳酪，或是暖心的鮮薑、破布子、淡醬油及烤鰻魚。

春季較低的萌芽率，接著五月底連續兩週的傾盆大雨，再再複雜了整個生長季節。我們持續地堅持，一步一腳印，讓葡萄再多點成熟。釀酒上，特別混合了一小批浸皮綠果，讓所有酒液慢慢發酵和陳釀一年，溫和的引導出她的纖細、優雅、純粹。
荔枝的誘人風味，帶著礦物質和白胡椒調性。入口清新明亮的果香，隨著平衡的酸度、鹹味、與微妙細緻的草本質地。

The Taiwanese Agricultural Research Station in Taichung city began developing an aromatic local winegrape variety more than 30 years ago. In 2009, the Institute proudly announced its release of “Taichung No.3”.
It is with this fateful encounter that the founder Ben Yang was inspired to embark on the grape-growing and winemaking journey. For their namesake, 100% estate grown Musann Blanc, pays homage to a grape variety unique to Taiwan, thereafter naturally led us to take a gentle personal approach, from grape-growing to winemaking.

Tasting Notes:
(2016)
Alluring, elegant aromas of lychee, pear, guava, mint and bay leaf set off an intriguing prologue.
Thereafter, the wine transitions cohesively to a refined mineral palate of lemon zest and quintessential tropical fruits, ascending to a fresh lingering finish.
This is a rounded, balanced vintage that truthfully expresses Musann Blanc’s layered varietal complexity and finesse.
This vintage is truly an inviting wine on its own. In pairing with food, we enjoy its delicate flavors with white asparagus, shiitake, fresh ginger, garlic and green onion, Chinese XO sauce, black pepper, stracciatella and goat cheese, light soy sauce and grilled eel.
(2020)
Alluring aromas of lychee and caramel are dappled with mineral, white pepper notes. A fresh fruity entry delights the senses, carried through the palate in balanced acidity, refined herbal and savory tones, and a textured finish, culminating to a lasting impression of Musann’s adaptive vitality to all that Nature gives her.
