Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
How Did the Muscat get in the Muscatel?
It is the oldest variety of grape in the world; the Muscat was known to the ancient Greeks and Phoenicians. The knights of the Nibelungen Saga spoke of it with such great joy that it is still known in some places as “Nibelungen wine.”
Today, the Muscat grape provides material for noble wines as well as sweet table grapes. Its name comes from its irresistible aroma, which bewitches insects most of all. It was reason enough for the ancient Romans to name the wine after the fly (musca).
The muscatel grape has been found in Austria, specifically Wachau, since 1400. It can be put to use in the sweet kitchen in its fruity, aromatic, tart varieties, depending on the desired taste, or as a high quality Prädikatswein.
