Muscat Ottonel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Muscat Ottonel or Muskat-Ottonel (in Germany) is a white wine grape that is a member of the Muscat family of Vitis vinifera. It is most notable for its use in dessert wines from Austria and Croatia as well as dry wines from Alsace and Hungary. In Alsace, the varietal designation "Muscat" is allowed for the varieties Muscat Ottonel, Muscat blanc à petit grains and Muscat blanc à petit grains in any combination (but not for other members of the Muscat family), and blends between these are common. First cultivated in Alsace by the Loire grower Moreau-Robert in 1852, the grape's parentage is believed to be the Muscat de Saumur and Chasselas. [1]
