Yellow Muscat is the most represented of the Muscat varieties in the area of Hrvatsko Zagorje and is grown on a total area of 6.7 ha.
It has a medium lush canopy, ripens at the end of the second period, and starts its annual growth cycle early. Depending on the purpose, it is possible to harvest Yellow Muscat already in early September (for lighter, fresher, and fragrant wines) or in mid and late September (for heavier, stronger, fuller wines with a higher sugar content). It is sensitive to low temperatures and susceptible to powdery mildew, and due to its compact cluster, also to Botrytis cinerea (grey mould), which is why it is planted in airy and warmer locations with lighter soil composition, on elevated vine-training systems and requires regular trimming and partial defoliation. It gives the best results on carbonate soils and requires a suitable substrate. It gives the best yields with longer pruning. The quality of grapes depends on the year, but as a rule it is of excellent quality, with high acid levels. This variety belongs to the representatives of Muscat wine varieties. The wine is light yellow-green in colour, aromatic, highly alcoholic, full and harmonious. Due to the pronounced sensory properties and fullness, it is possible to apply various technologies of wine production (longer or shorter maceration) and produce different types of wine (sweet wines, dessert wines).
