Stonewall Muscat Canelli

Stonewall Muscat Canelli Wine Details
Price: $15.00 per bottle

Description: This Muscat Canelli is our first dessert wine offering here at Pedernales Cellars and we hope you enjoy. This wine was vinted and bottled by Pedernales Cellars using grapes from a grape-grower friend. It is a sweet dessert wine that delivers a wonderful nose filled with passion fruit, grapefruit, and a light perfume.

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.
