Muscat Wine, the Oldest in the World
May 19, 2011

and it is a favorite in California for making sweet dessert wines.
Muscat grapes can be white, different shades of brown or black. Muscat grapes grow best in areas with a temperate climates such as Australia, California, France, Greece, Italy and Spain where they can be harvested late in the season which allows the grape to reach maximum sweetness. Wine made from the Muscat grape is always sweet, but can be either light or heavy and will have a strong aroma and musky flavor. However, when used as the base for other wines, it can produce a light dry wine.
The Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, AKA Muscat Blanc, Muscat Canelli, Muscat Bianco and Muscat Frontignan
is believed to be the first one of the Muscats and is used to make sweet and semi sweet dessert wines like the popular Asti Spumante.

It is not considered to be one of the best and is often blended with other wines to give them a more powerful aroma. But, in locations such as Spain and Portugal high quality sweet wines are produced.
