Muscat is a Vitis vinifera grape variety derived
from the crossing of the Schiava Grossa and Muscat
of Alexandria varieties. It is known under a variety
of local names such as Golden Hamburg, and Black
Hamburg in the US; Muscat de Hambourg (or Hamburgh)
in France; Moscato di Amburgo in Italy; and Muscat
Gamburgskiy in Russia and former Soviet Union countries.
Confusingly, Black Hamburg is also used as a synonym
for its maternal parent. It is commonly produced
as table wine but in California's Central Valley
it has been used in the production of dessert wine.
As a dessert wine it can be highly aromatic with
a rich coloring. In the US it is grown in wine appellations
in California, Virginia, Oregon, Texas, and Washington.
In Canada, it is also found on Vancouver Island.
In France, the grape is used chiefly
as a component of fruit baskets. In Eastern Europe,
the grape produces a light, dry red wine. It is
also starting to gain popularity as a table wine
component in China.
Horticulturist Walter Clore has
postulated that this grape might have been one
of the first Vitis vinifera varieties planted
in Washington State in the early 19th century.
