Muscat of Patras is a type of sweet white dessert wine that originated in the Patras region in Greece. It is made from the Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, a white wine grape variety that is a member of the Muscat family of Vitis vinifera.
This wine is famous for its fruity aroma and sweet, rich taste - often containing notes of honey, orange, and apricot. Aside from being enjoyed as a dessert wine, it is also often used in cooking due to its unique flavor profile.
Muscat of Patras has a long history in Greece and is one of the oldest cultivated varieties in the country, known for its high-quality production. The wine has achieved Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status from the European Union, meaning it is legally protected and can only be made in the specific region that it originates from.
