Region  : Leeton Australia
 
Alcohol : 10.0%, 750ml

Variety : 78% Muscat of Alexandria, 22% Semillon

Available in : Australia, Alberta Canada

Notes  : Yellow colour with green tinge; delicate floral and grapey; light, rounded and soft. The wine captures all the hallmark muscat aromatics ... soft, easy drinking and with sufficient acidity to balance the sweetness. A great match for lighter desserts, especially platters of fresh fruit and soft cheeses. Also an attractive chilled aperitif.

Muscat of Alexandria is one of the oldest of grape varieties. The variety is presumed to have originated in northern Africa and may well have been harvested in the vineyards of ancient Egypt. The flavours of muscat of Alexandria are very close to most people's interpretation of the term "grapey" and the variety is ideally suited to producing medium-sweet, but highly refreshing, wines such as this.

We also encourage the development of botrytis in part of out muscat of Alexandria vineyard and use the variety to produce some of our botrytised sweet whites.
