Description:
Summers 2007 Muscat Canelli was picked at 29.5 brix, perfect ripeness for dessert wines. It is delightfully refreshing and fruity, with floral aromas of ripe peaches and apricots - an extraordinary combination of sweetness and crisp balance. This wine pairs well with spicy Thai meals or as an accompaniment to dessert.

Varietal Definition
Muscat Canelli:
Known by many names, this grape’s official French name is Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, which translates as ‘Muscat with small berries’. In California, the name Muscat Canelli is common, derived from Moscato di Canelli, a name used in Italy. In the northern hemisphere this late-ripening variety is mainly used to make semi-sweet and sweet dessert wines, or as a table grape. Grown in many countries, including Austria and Germany (Muskateller), Hungary (Muscat Lunel), and France (Muscat Frontignan), it may be the oldest known grape, confirmed as growing around the Mediterranean for centuries. However, it should not be confused with Muscat of Alexandria, a grape with a similar ancient history in the same region.
