Winemakers notes: Pale straw green silver color. Fresh, fruity aromas and flavors of white blossoms, poached peach, honeyed raisin soda nut bread, and jasmine tea with a supple, crisp, petillant, off-dry light-to-medium body and a polished, appealing, medium-length finish that shows notes of clementine and honeyed pear with no oak flavor. A tasty off-dry moscato with nice fruit and length, perfect for picnics.
My review: This moscato certainly had acidic notes that overpowered the sweetness of the wine. Initially the sharp acidity hits you followed by a fruity and sweet finish. As a whole, the wine was very light and easy to drink. It was subtle enough that I would enjoy drinking it on its own. It was slightly carbonated which helped make it seem lighter. It was not dry at all and definitely seemed like something that would quench your thirst on a warm summer's day!
Pairings: I did not pair this wine with any food.
