Wild nutmeg
Wild muscat is a red wine variety ( Vitis vinifera ) that was created in 1976 when Lemberger vines were propagated by sowing (as opposed to vegetative propagation by grafting ). Two of around 200 vines were selected whose berries had a distinct nutmeg aroma . Originally these vines were called Muskat-Lemberger , the Amalienhof winery in Beilstein , where the vines were further propagated from 1983 by grafting onto American rootstocks and marketed from 1991, but withdrew this name in 2003 for legal reasons and the namesBlue amavitis and wild muscat submitted to the Bundessortenamt in Hanover (identification number 118, plant variety protection granted in 2003). The grape variety has been approved by the European Plant Variety Office CPVO (Community Plant Variety Office) since June 2007 under the name Wild Muscat (File No. 20071170). This name has now established itself, but the wines must bear the note from experimental cultivation until they are finally approved as a yield grape .
The vine is robust, the grape grows small, loose and ripens early. The wine has an intense, but not intrusive muscat tone.
