muscatel wine

Pronunciation: [muhs-kuh-TEHL]

A rich, sweet dessert wine created from the muscat grape. It's made from both the black and white varieties, so its color can range from golden to amber to pale amber-red. Muscatel's flavor typifies the characteristically musty flavor of the muscat grape.
