So exciting! We just heard from the TTB and have received federal approval of the 14th and final #grape in the #Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape collection: #Muscardin. As is normal with these petitions, the final approval will come when it's entered into the congressional record along with other newly-approved grapes sometime in the next few years. But please welcome Muscardin as the 348th approved grape for use in American wine!
