Black Muscat
Black Muscat is a variety thought to have been created in the 1800s by hybridizing Muscat of Alexandria and Trollinger grapes. They’re versatile and enjoyed fresh as table grapes while also used for making several types of wine, including?dessert wines?and dry red wines. These large grapes are bluish-black and give off a pleasant floral aroma. They have a deliciously sweet, juicy taste and pair perfectly with salty, rich foods like cheeses. In fact, one study rated Black Muscat grapes as significantly sweeter, juicier, and more aromatic than five other grape varieties tested. The study also suggests that Black Muscat has the highest levels of various bioactive compounds, such as alpha-tocopherol, beta carotene, and monoterpenols, which may benefit health.
