This is a flavoursome Moscato with an upfront tropical and citrus aroma with subtle hints of rich sweetness. The sweet tropical fruit flavours of lemon and citrus is are counteracted by the crisp acid finish.

The fruit for this wine was sourced from our vineyards in the Murray Darling and Riverland regions. The climate is hot with high evaporation rates and generally low rainfall, making irrigation essential. The climate is also continental, resulting in long sunny days and noticeably cooler nights. Long sunshine hours ensure fruit ripens fully and low relative humidity results in little incidence of disease.

The fruit was crushed and de-stemmed to varying sizes and styles of red fermenters where the fruit was fermented on oak at cooler temperatures of 18 – 22oC for 5 – 7 days. Fermenting at cooler temperatures allows the fruit flavours to be nurtured and enables retention of varietal characteristics. Post fermentation the majority of the wine is matured in stainless steel tanks. Components are then selected, blended, stabilised and clarified.

Food Pairing: The sweetness of Moscato is a great accompaniment for rich spicy food, like a hot lamb curry or spiced meats on a charcuterie board.
