Muscat of Alexandria
Muscat of Alexandria is one of the oldest cultivated grape varieties in the world, originating in North Africa and named for its long association with ancient Egypt. Distinct from the smaller-berried Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, it is grown heavily on the Greek island of Lemnos, where it produces intensely aromatic, grapey-flavoured wines in styles ranging from dry to sweet.
