Sultana

An ancient varietal thought to have originated in Persia centuries ago. Today Sultana can be found in abundance in the Middle East, Ausrtalia (where it is known as Murray River Riesling), South Africa and the United States, under the alias Thompson's Seedless. Despite the abundant amounts of this vine very little wine is produced from it as Sultana is better as a table grape or as a raisin than when fermented into wine. Despite very little in the way of flavor or character, Sultana can be used as an ingredient in "jug" style wines made throughout the world.
