Misket is an ancient Bulgarian grape variety. It produces an accessible, aromatic white wine. Although not particularly well-known, it is the most widely planted indigenous white grape in the country.
The name and aroma suggest otherwise, but Misket is not a member of the Muscat family. It turns out to be a cross between Riesling and Dimyat, another forgotten Bulgarian grape.
To compound the confusion, Bulgarians have several Miskets. Misket Cherven ('red Muscat') is the oldest and by far the most widely planted. Others include Misket Vernenski and Misket Vrachanski, local crosses that, apart from their Muscat-like aroma, have nothing to do with Misket Cherven.
