Geography
Very widely planted throughout Europe, also Victoria, Australia.

Viticulture
The hot, highly continental climate of North East Victoria, Australia is ideal terroir for growing grapes for producing delicious liqueur Muscats—Australia's answer to Europe's fortified versions.

Varietal/Blend
Often blended with various other grape varieties to increase complexity and flavour. Also used to make Asti Spumante in Italy.

Flavour & Character
Probably the only grape that produces wine with the aroma of the grape itself. Sweet Muscats have flavours of raisins and oranges.

Vinification
The sweet dessert wines are often fortified with grape brandy during fermentation to preserve sweetness.

Style
Produces a vast range of styles, ranging from sweet and fortified to dry, floral and grapy.

Body, Dry/Sweet
Ranges from the dry, full bodied and aromatic to the sweet heaviness of dessert wines.

Notes
Also known as Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains—its full name. Not to be confused with Muscadet, the dry white wine from the Loire Valley.
