Dessert wines

The Muscat

The Greek Muscat grape is one of the oldest grape varieties in the world. This grape produces great dessert wines that are deliciously sweet. This is because this grape is also very sweet. One of the characteristics of this grape, besides its sweet taste, is its low yield. The sugar content of many grapes is too low, which results in a significant drop in the quality of the wine. For this reason, the grapes that do not meet the sugar content are not used, which leads to low production. Muscat grapes are often dried in the shade for a few days, so that the moisture evaporates and the sugar/flavour content increases. From it, light yellow and sweet dessert wines with a Muscat aroma are produced, which are fortified with alcohol to 13-25%. In addition to dessert wines, it can also be used to make table wines.
