Description
This dry white wine grape is commonly grown in France and is particularly useful in that it is very frost resistant. Many people confuse this name with the sweet Muscats grown in various regions in Australia. However the Muscat family is large and diverse and this particular variety is widely drunk in France. MELON is named for the beautiful pink/gold blush on the bunches of grapes at ripening.

Tasting notes
MELON has spicy, flinty flavours and aromatics and particularly complement shellfish dishes, especially fresh oysters.
