A key characteristic of all Muscat grapes is that they are the only ones whose wines actually smell and taste of grapes. Muscat blanc à petit grains, as Yellow Muscat is called in France, is considered by several enthusiasts to be the finest Muscat grape. It produces sultry wines with hints of spice and orange blossom.
The grape is very old and widespread. No other variety has so many synonyms. The most important are 'Muskadel' in South Africa, 'Moscato d’Asti', 'Moscato di Canelli', or 'Moscato Bianco' in Italy, 'Sárgamuskotály' in the Hungarian Tokaj region, 'Temjanika' in Macedonia, 'Frontignac' or 'Muscat Blanc' in France, and 'Brown Muscat' in Australia.
The sultry aroma makes the grape very suitable for producing sweet wines. Many of the best French Vins doux Naturels, such as Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise, are made from Muscat blanc à petit grains. The Italians make a soft sparkling Moscato d'Asti from it in Piedmont. The Hungarians are just as good with their fine sweet Aszu wines from the Tokaj region.
We currently have six wines made from the Gele Muskaat grape in our range. You can view our Gele Muskaat wines here.
