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

The production of premium fortified wine has long been part of the history at Yalumba. Founder Samuel Smith first made port back in the 1860s, and the South Australian Governor (1914-1920) Sir Henry L Galway selected his own personal "pipes" from the Yalumba bodega.

Not bad at all. In fact, it was almost sublime with some St Agur blue cheese and walnuts. Without food it's really nice and smooth and rich and decadent until the finish where there is a harsh alcohol bite.
