Muscat Alexandria

In one experiment, when the increased fresh weight of shoot tips was used as a criterion of response, it was shown that GAX and GA3 resulted in about equal shoot response (39). In this bioassay the apical 6 inches of Muscat of Alexandria shoots were sprayed with GAX or GA3 at 25 p.p.m. Used as criterion for the response was the total fresh weight for growth 12 days after spraying.

A sweet white sparkling wine termed Sparkling Muscat or Moscato is prepared from Muscat of Alexandria grapes. Muscat also is used sometimes in small quantities to add flavor to other white sparkling wines.

In research on Muscat of Alexandria (26,34) as well as Moscato bianco (67,68) the concentrations of free linalool were observed to increase to a maximum and then to decrease in the overripe fruit.

Production conditions are more constraining in France than as specified by the OIV. Not only is the area covered by each appellation clearly defined, but the grape varieties are also specified. Non-Muscat varieties are Grenache, Macabeu, and Malvoisie, while only Muscat of Alexandria and Muscat a Petits Grains are permitted in fortified Muscat wines.

Another white wine cultivar developed by the University of Minnesota is La Crescent (St. Pepin X (V. riparia x Muscat of Alexandria)) (Figure 17.1(h) Table 17.1), which was introduced and patented in 2002 (Hemstad and Luby, 2003). La Crescent was the result of cooperation between Elmer Swenson and the University of Minnesota. The University of Minnesota was a source of pollen for Mr Swenson on several occasions, so it was not unusual for Peter Hemstad to request pollen from an interesting (U riparia x Muscat of Alexandria) selection he noticed on a visit to Elmer s vineyard in Wisconsin (E.S. 6-8-25). Rather than sending pollen, Mr Swenson kindly offered to use the pollen on a pistillate cultivar (St. Pepin) the following spring. It was from these seeds that Hemstad selected MN 1166, which was eventually named La Crescent.
