Moscato 2021
DESCRIPTION
Tasting Notes
Pale pink, salmon. A showcase of lifted floral aromatics that Muscat typically produces, with gorgeous musk notes offering a bright and confected finish to the nose.
Wine Making
The fruit was picked in the cool of the early morning. Only the free run juice was collected and after cold settling fermentation was started using an aromatic yeast strain. The ferment was tasted twice daily and when the correct balance between alcohol and natural sugar was obtained the ferment was stopped, maintaining the natural sweetness and spritz.
Cellaring
This wine is best enjoyed whilst young and fresh and will not benefit from further long term cellaring. Ideal for pre or post dinner drinks, the perfect ‘daytime wine’, or even with a lazy Sunday brunch!

Palate:
The palate is true to the bouquet with sweetness prominent. Turkish Delight & Sherbet characters couple beautifully with fresh spritz, which adds texture to the mid palate, before finishing with balanced crispness.
