The Gold Muscat is a white grape varietal primarily used in the production of fortified and dessert wines. Originally from the Mediterranean, it is well-known for its potent floral and fruity aroma and sweet taste. The flavors often detected in its wines include rose, peach, apricot, pear, and melon, sometimes with a hint of spice. The Gold Muscat varietal is highly versatile and can be made into a range of wine styles including dry, sweet, and sparkling wines. It is also used as a table grape. Its high sugar content can lead to high alcohol content if not controlled during fermentation.
