Muscat of Alexandria is part of the exotic Muscat family, many clones have been cultivated in Australia for as long as grapes have been grown here. The Romans are believed to have given the grape its name as they found its distinctive aroma akin to that of musk, and hence called it Moscato - smelling of musk. If harvested early, it produces delicate, perfumed and crisp, dry white table wines, but if left to hang on the vines for several weeks longer it produces rich flavoursome dessert styles. Parcels of Muscat of Alexandria grapes with a lesser component of Cienna are harvested at heightened levels of baume, to be briskly vinified and bottled upon completion. Alcohol 7.0%
