Styles of port: Moscatel

One of over 30 different grape varieties used for making white port, Moscatel is occasionally used on its own to make a sweet fortified varietal white wine with the grape aroma characteristic of muscat. The village of Favaios on the north bank of the Douro makes a speciality of moscatel.
