Few grape varieties capture pure, floral beauty quite like Golden Muscat. Known for its expressive aromatics and naturally luscious character, this distinctive grape brings a burst of sunshine to every glass. While Muscat is one of the oldest grape families in the world—cultivated for thousands of years across Europe and the Mediterranean—our Golden Muscat thrives here on Long Island’s North Fork, producing wines that are fresh, vibrant, and unmistakably local.
The grape belongs to the extended Muscat family, prized for its intense perfume and fruit-driven flavors. Expect aromas of honeysuckle, orange blossom, and tropical fruit, balanced by a gentle sweetness and crisp acidity. Its name refers to the grape’s striking golden hue when fully ripe—a sign of the rich, aromatic potential within each cluster.
Our cool maritime climate and long growing season allow Golden Muscat to develop expressive aromatics while retaining bright natural acidity. Gentle sea breezes from the Long Island Sound and Peconic Bay help moderate temperatures, preserving the grape’s floral lift and freshness. Harvest timing is key; we pick the fruit at the peak of flavor when the fruit is fragrant but still crisp—perfect for creating balanced, refreshing wines.
It is also wonderfully versatile at the table. Its floral and fruity notes shine alongside spicy Asian cuisine, soft cheeses, charcuterie, and fruit-forward desserts. It’s also delightful on its own as an aperitif or paired with simple seasonal fare like roasted squash or butternut soup during fall.
