Ozzie Orange Muscat

This Brown Brothers Orange Muscat and Flora is a nice dessert wine from Victoria, Australia. Orange muscat is self explanatory, but Flora needs a bit more elaboration. Flora was produced in California from crossing Semillon and Gewurztraminer and gives wines of fragrance and body with an acidic backbone.

This is a delightful wine to go with a nice fruity dessert. I have memories of some nice dessert matches with this wine. Once I bought this wine and specially baked some apples stuffed with raisins, butter and demerara sugar to finish off a meal. I also recollect baking a heart-shaped apple pastry and pairing it with this wine for our first Valentine meal after we got married.

 A nice wine with many sweet memories!
