Hanepoot is a synonym for which grape in South Africa?

Chenin Blanc Muscat Chardonnay Sauvignon Blanc

Correct Answer:

Muscat

Explanation:

Hanepoot denotes a grape in the Muscat family, an aromatic white variety famous for perfumed, floral aromas and often used to make sweet or late-harvest wines. In South Africa, Hanepoot is the local name for Muscat grapes, so the best match is Muscat. The other options—Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc—are distinct grape varieties with different flavor profiles and are not referred to as Hanepoot.
