Moravian muscat is a Czech grape variety that was created by crossing Muscat Ottonel and the rare Prachtraube grape. Although the grape is also suitable for the production of sweet and sparkling wines, it is mostly used as a blending grape and in production of dry varietal wines.
Dry wines produced from Muškát moravský are golden-colored with typical spicy notes and floral, herbal, and citrusy aromas. They are usually light and aromatic, while the best examples will have an excellent balance of residual sugars and acidity.
Opal is an apple variety that was developed in Prague in 1999. The apples are a cross between Golden Delicious and Topaz. They are medium to large in size and round. The skin is lemon yellow, while the texture of the flesh is soft and crisp.
The flavors are sweet and slightly tart with hints of banana, pear, and coconut. Available from late winter to spring, Opal apples don't brown when exposed to the air, so they're often used in salads, pies, and tarts, but they're usually eaten fresh as a snack.
Topaz is an apple variety that hails from the Czech Republic. It was cultivated as a cross between Rubín and Vanda by the Institute of Experimental Botany. The apples are available from mid-fall throughout winter. The flesh is creamy white in color, while the texture is firm and crisp.
The flavor is first sweet and tart, but it becomes more mellow once the apples are in storage. It's recommended to eat Topaz apples fresh or use them raw in salads or as a pairing to cheese and cream based dips. They can also be boiled, roasted, or baked.
