What to Expect

Going by many names, Moscato Bianco, Muscat de Frontignan and Muscat Canelli among the most common, this aromatic grape produces wines that are characterized by floral aromas with peach and citrus flavors. Widely used in Italy for lightly sparkling, or Frizzante wines, the most famous of which is Asti Spumante.

Winemakers Notes

COLOUR
Almost translucent, very pale straw.
AROMA
Bursting aromas of guava, tropical
fruits and a touch of musk.
PALATE
A mere 6.5% alcohol, delicately
sweet with a vibrant spritz. Lively,
fresh effervescence on the palate with
a subtle sweetness and exotic fruit
flavours. Drink this one young whilst
still bursting with vibrancy.

WINEMAKING
Made from 100% White Frontignac
(Muscat), it is always the first variety
to be picked and the first wine to be
bottled from a vintage. The essence
of read more...the Moscato style is in maintaining
freshness, it is pressed, fermented,
filtered, and bottled in quick
succession.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Serve chilled. An amazingly versatile
style that makes for a wonderful
aperitif or the perfect palate cleanser
with fresh fruits and dessert. Works
well with tangy salty cheese such as
fetta or a young goat cheese.
ANALYSIS
Alc 6.5%, pH 3.0, Acidity 7.1
CELLAR POTENTIAL
Drink within 18 months of vintage.
REGION
The fruit comes from 80 to 100 year
old White Frontignac vines grown in
the Barossa Valley, South Australia.
Once a victim of fashion White
Frontignac is undergoing a revival as
this deliciously tantalizing style.    (hide)
