Muscadelle - Weintraube und Blatt

Ancestry

Despite seemingly indicative synonyms or morphological similarities, it should not be confused with the varieties Muscadelle du Bordelais, Muscat Blanc, or Sauvignonasse (Sauvignon Vert). According to 2013 DNA analyses, it originates from a presumably natural crossing between an unknown mother variety x Gouais Blanc (Heunisch). However, this is based on only 20 DNA markers (see Molecular Genetics).

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
