Muscat du Ventoux, Raisin de table

Grapes have been grown in this region since ancient times and the Vaucluse is the top producer of table grapes in France. Among the many vines destined for wine production, most producers have a few vines of table grape vine on their personal vine trellis. The most popular table grape is the Muscat du Ventoux, recently given an appellation d’origins protegée. Each season our own vine, likely planted in the sixties produces a bounty of sweet juicy grapes. Table grapes have less acidity and thinner skin than grapes cultivated for wine and they are the perfect before-bed snack in a small bowl of yogurt. Grapes are the only fruit containing melatonin so you are boosting your sleep cycle too.
