Muscat/Moscato
Muscat is a grape varietal that is known for its distinct floral aroma and sweet flavour. It is one of the oldest grape varietals in the world, with a history that dates back thousands of years. While technically, "Muscat" refers to the grape family and "Moscato" is the Italian name for it, most people use the terms interchangeably when referring to the wines they produce.
In terms of flavour profile and taste, Muscat wines can vary widely depending on the region and the style of wine being produced. However, they typically have a distinct floral aroma with notes of peach, apricot, and orange blossom. The sweetness level can also vary, with some Muscat wines being bone-dry and others being intensely sweet. To learn more about Muscat wines, check out our Muscat guide.
