Did you know we grow Moscato in Ontario?
Moscato is a vitis vinifera grape variety that was originally bred as a cross between Muscat d’Eisenstadt and Chasselas in the Alsace region of France. It is an early ripening, late harvesting, cold hardy grape that does well in damp soil and cooler climates. Usually pale in colour and lighter bodied with florals notes like rose and stone fruit like peach. It tends to pair well with creamy or fruity desserts, lighter fares such as salads, light fish and chicken or spicy foods!
