What is Muscat Blanc?

Muscat Blanc, also known as Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, is one of the oldest and most aromatic white grape varieties in the world. It is cherished for its intense floral fragrance and fruit-forward character.

In Hungary's historic Tokaj wine region, this grape acquires a distinctive expression influenced by the unique combination of volcanic soils, centuries of winemaking tradition, and a special microclimate.

The resulting wines are celebrated for their elegant balance of fruity and honeyed notes, supported by lively acidity that makes them refreshing and versatile—ideal for crafting off-dry and late-harvest wines.

Food Pairing

This wine pairs excellently with Asian dishes. It goes particularly well with prawns and Nam Jim dipping sauce, complementing the spicy notes. You can also enjoy it with smoked salmon or fresh cheese.
