Muscat
One of the world’s oldest grape families, Muscat encompasses a wide range of styles, from dry and floral to rich and lusciously sweet. Characterized by its intensely perfumed aromas of orange blossom, lychee, and fresh grape, it thrives in warm climates worldwide. Crisp, refreshing expressions appear in Alsace and northern Italy, while fortified versions, like Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise, showcase honeyed depth. Naturally high in sugar, it excels in dessert wines, often with notes of candied citrus and spice. A grape of immense versatility and undeniable fragrance, Muscat remains a favorite among both casual and serious wine drinkers.
