Muscato- Chilean Juice

Chilean Muscato. 6 gallon pail.

This Chilean juice is sourced from the Maipo Valley region located just south of the capital city, Santiago.

Moscato wine is famous for its sweet flavors of peach, orange blossom and nectarine. The name originates from Italy, but the Muscat grape may be one of the oldest cultivated varieties in the world. It’s time to rediscover Moscato wine.

Moscato has one of the most unique smells of all wine. It’s so unique that wine people often just describe it just as “Muscat Aroma,” which is not that helpful. Scientists studied the floral aromatics in Muscat and found prevalence of a chemical compound called linalool, which is also found naturally occurring in mint, citrus flowers and cinnamon.

There are a few Muscat variants that are both white and red. If you’ve tried a sweet dessert wine made of Muscat such as Sherry, chances are it’s Muscat of Alexandria or Orange Muscat. If you have a light bubbly Moscato d’Asti, then you are drinking a white Muscat grape called Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains. Despite the differences in style, all Muscat wines have very similar flavors.
