Muscat Orange
White wine grape · reported 2000–2025
Muscat Orange is an aromatic Muscat-family grape with no confirmed international registry match under this name. California's numbers show modest growth: bearing acreage rose from 112 acres in 2000 to 278 acres in the latest report, spread across 19 counties. Like other Muscats grown in the state, it is likely used for its floral, grapey aromatics in light, often slightly sweet white wines rather than as a dry varietal, and its small but steady acreage suggests a small, consistent grower base.
What is published
Counts describe what this atlas holds for Muscat Orange, not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
