Muskateller

Muskateller is the Austrian name for Muscat à petits grains, one of the oldest known varieties; VIVC gives Greece as its country of origin. Austrian law and statistics treat the Gelber (white) and the Roter (red-skinned, a colour mutation) Muskateller as one variety; both give white wine. The area grew from 823 ha in 2015 to 1,174 ha in 2020, in Lower Austria (573 ha), Styria (402 ha) and Burgenland (166 ha). In Austria it is mostly made dry and light, with aromas of elderflower, grapes and citrus, and also sweet.
