Discover the grape variety: Blütenmuskateller
An interspecific cross, obtained in Russia in 1947, between Severnyj - a relative of Vitis amurensis - and Muscat à petits grains blancs, which is also said to have Muscat fleur d'oranger and Muscat d'Alexandrie. Note that it is resistant to mildew and powdery mildew, and that its wine, often produced as a sweet sparkling wine, is of the muscat type, though less pronounced than that obtained from the usual muscat grape varieties. Unknown in France, it can be found in Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Russia, Hungary, Ukraine and Australia.

The wine region of Serra Gaúcha
Serra Gaúcha is a Brazilian wine region in the Southern state of Rio Grande do Sul, where Brazil meets Uruguay. Its name is apt: the landscape here is characterized by low mountain ranges (serras) and populated by gaúchos, the cowboys of the Brazilian Pampas. Small landholdings of just a few hectares are the norm in Serra Gacúha, which makes co-operative winemaking almost a necessity. The cost of buying and maintaining winemaking equipment is considerable, so local vignerons pool their resources and invest in shared, co-operative wineries.

Rio Grande do Sul is Brazil's most prolific wine-producing state. It is located in the very South of the country along the Uruguayan and Argentinian borders. The wine regions of Serra Gaucha, Campanha and Vale do Vinhedos can be found in this Part of the country. Soft, light red wines from a range of varieties such as Grape/pinot">Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tannat are made here.

More importantly, in this age, when every assistant in a retail shop styles him- or herself a sales consultant, who would hire one? The short answer is this: a wine consultant is someone who advises wine lovers about their passion. He or she advises buyers on what to buy (and a ...
