Diversity of Sensorial Expression Each of the wines that distinguished themselves at Muscats du Monde® did so because of their own intrinsic quality, not in comparison with the other wines. This event is therefore a unique opportunity to bring together and discover a wide variety of Muscats wines in all their forms: dry, sweet, still, sparkling, with and with pink to dark red shades. According to the expert judges, this extraordinarily rich group of wines demonstrated a level of sensory complexity rarely encountered with other wines.
The two main types that are grown in Portugal are known locally as Moscatel Galego Branco DOC (Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains) in Douro and “Moscatel de Setúbal” (Muscat of Alexandria).
