Wines made from Muscat Ottonel grapes of Morava
Discover the best wines made with Muscat Ottonel as a single variety or as a blend of Morava.
Delicate and fine muscat whites with a tender palate and moderate acidity, on intense and refined aromas of orange blossom, rose, fresh grape, citrus, white peach and airy muscat (more subtle than Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains). Made as aromatic dry aperitif whites (Alsace, Baden), off-dry and sumptuous botrytised liquoreux (Burgenland in Austria, Cotnari in Romania, Tokaj). Created in the 19th century by Robert Moreau (Angers), a cross of Chasselas × Muscat de Saumur.
Predominantly white region, lively and mineral: crisp, peppery Grüner Veltliner, taut Riesling with citrus, supple, floral Müller-Thurgau, aromatic Pálava, the local signature (muscat, white flowers). More discreet reds: spicy Frankovka (Blaufränkisch) with black fruits, fine, silky Saint Laurent. Temperate continental climate, 4 sub-regions: Mikulov, Velké Pavlovice, Znojmo, Slovácko. ~96% of the Czech vineyard, 73 grapes grown.
