Where it comes from
Muscat of Alexandria
Muscat of Alexandria is an ancient white grape from the eastern Mediterranean, one of the oldest cultivated varieties and a member of the wide-ranging Muscat family.
Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc is a white grape from France's Loire Valley (and a parent of Cabernet Sauvignon) prized for its zesty, aromatic character and refreshing bite.
Chardonnay
Chardonnay is a white grape from Burgundy that has spread to nearly every wine-growing region on earth, prized for its versatility and its ability to reflect both terroir and the winemaker's hand.
Viognier
Viognier is a white grape from the northern Rhône Valley in France, long the signature of the tiny appellation Condrieu and a variety that came close to disappearing before a revival spread it far beyond its Rhône home.
