If you like Chardonnay and aromatic, white grape varieties like Gewurztraminer and Muscat, then you’ll probably like this varietal clone that embodies both. Behold “Chardonnay Musqué”. This genetically mutated version of Chardonnay has all the characteristics of the famous white grape plus additional notes of musk, tropical fruit, honeysuckle, spice and orange blossom. Best unoaked, it tends to excel in cool climates like Ontario’s Niagara region, British Columbia and New York’s Finger Lakes where its aromatic character is maintained and intensified. It makes a great aperitif and works wonders with nuts and cheese. It’s also delightful with exotic cuisine such as Indian, Mexican, Thai and Oriental. Give it a go. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
