This is what good wine from the Muscadelle grape tastes like

The Muscadelle grape produces aromatic wines. Floral, with hints of grape, pear, and peach. It is used to make both sweet and dry white wines. They have a Muscat-like flavor. However, Muscadelle is not a member of the large Muscat family.

You'll find Muscadelle in the French Sud-Ouest and Bordelais regions. In Graves, to be precise. There, a drop of Muscadelle juice is often added to the sweet Sauternes. This gives it a little more finesse. Further afield, in Bergerac, they do the same with Montbazillac.

In Entre-Deux-Mers, winemakers are allowed to make up to 40% Muscadelle in their dry white wines, but they rarely do. Muscadelle is a sensitive plant with irregular yields and therefore not a favorite of winemakers watching their wallets. In the Sud-Ouest, especially in Gaillac, Muscadelle is more often used for dry wines.

On the other side of the world, in northeast Australia, they make fortified, sweet wines from Muscadelle. These are filmy and have intense aromas. Australians call it their Tokay, much to the chagrin of Hungarians, who rightly believe that Aussie winemakers are capitalizing on the reputation of their namesake region.
