Muscat Blanc

Muscat Blanc is one of the oldest and most expressive white grape varieties in the world, cultivated for centuries throughout the Mediterranean, France, Italy, and many warm to temperate New World regions. It is a moderately vigorous vine with small, compact clusters of golden-yellow berries, prized for their intensely aromatic skins. The variety performs best in well-drained soils and sunny sites, where it can achieve full flavor maturity while retaining refreshing acidity. Muscat Blanc is valued for its adaptability and for expressing site character with remarkable clarity. Wines made from Muscat Blanc are typically pale straw to light gold in color, with naturally high aromatics, soft to moderate acidity, and low tannins. Signature aromas include orange blossom, rose petal, ripe stone fruit, citrus, and grape, with styles ranging from dry and delicately textured to lushly sweet and fortified expressions of great purity and charm.
