Muscadelle grape

A fragrant white grape used in Bordeaux blends and sweet wines of Sauternes. Adds floral, musky aromas to blends. Also used in Monbazillac and Australia (as Tokay in Rutherglen).

A grape's character depends heavily on soil, climate, clones and winemaking. The notes below offer a general profile; an individual bottle remains the best way to discover a producer's house style.
