Muscat Wine

Muscat is a fascinating variety of grape, probably the first to be positively identified by ancient Mediterraneans. It has at least four principal sub varieties, and all of them are famously perfumed, with scents of musk, orange peel, and ripe table grapes. Muscat makes some of the best sweet wines, both light fizzy ones and heavy sugary ones, as well as fully dry table wines. Some of the best Muscats come from Italy, France, Oregon, California and Australia.

The muscat family of grapes of the species Vitis vinifera is widely grown for wine, raisins and table grapes. Their color ranges from white to near black. Muscat almost always has a pronounced sweet floral aroma. Muscat grapes are grown around the world in Cyprus, Hungary,Romania, Moldova, Bulgaria, Serbia, Israel, France, Germany, Portugal, Greece, Spain, Australia, California, Oregon, Canada, Italy, Albania,Turkey, Slovenia, and other places. The breadth and number of varieties of muscat suggest that it is perhaps the oldest domesticated grape variety, and there are theories that most families within the Vitis vinifera grape family are descended from the Muscat family. Indeed, scientists from the University of Pennsylvania have analyzed pots from King Midass burial mound and determined that Muscat grapes were a key component of the alcoholic beverage served at his funeral feast.
