In his book 'Grapes and Wines' Oz Clarke rightly laments that "the Muscat grape is treated with casual disregard by the majority of wine drinkers". How so, when Muscat (aka Moscatel) is as old as wine itself, and so versatile it makes great wines that can be sweet, dry, sparkling or fortified? Those in the know love Muscat for its exotic perfume and for the fact that it's the only wine that actually tastes of fresh grapes. So without further ado get stuck into a glass of this Moscatel Rosado, unearthed by our buyer for Spain, who always goes the extra mile. This modern, fruity, medium-dry, semi-sparkling rosé from sunny Valencian vineyards is addictively moreish. Enjoy well chilled - on its own or with grilled prawns or summer berries.
