Muscat Bleu

A hybrid of Garnier 15-6 and Perle Noire, Muscat Bleu was created around 1930 at Peissy in the canton of Geneva (Switzerland). This early variety is appreciated by organic wine producers due to its high resistance to disease and its musky aroma. An amateur variety, grown for the table or the cellar and producing delicate, fruity wines, it is not common in Swiss winemaking.
