Orange Muscat & Flora are two white grape varieties that are little known or planted in Australia. As the name suggests, Orange Muscat is part of the Muscat family & hails from the south-east of France. The variety is said to have derived its name from the golden hues the grapes develop when fully ripe & the strong aroma of orange blossom given off at vintage when the grapes are freshly crushed. Flora was developed at the Californian Agricultural Department Station in 1958 from a cross between the white grapes Semillon & Gewürztraminer. It produces a wine of fragrance & body with a fresh acid backbone.
