Winery Review:
Bright, light golden color. Very aromatic nose of ripe apricots, sage, honey and a slight minerality. Medium bodied, sweet and fruity with flavors of apricots and tangerine. Well balanced acidity and medium finish with layers of sweet citrus fruity.
My Review:
I was a little scared to try this Moscato, after the complete and utter fail of the first Moscato that I've had in the tastings, but this proved to change my perspective on sweet wines. Strong notes of sweet and bubbly apricot on the nose, a little frizzante and almost white in color, this Moscato tasted like a light, sweet soda on the palate more than anything else. Lightly sweet, and oddly smooth, with a general floral overtone with some bright nectarine, orange, and apricot flavors, I found this white to be extremely fun and interesting. Although it is labeled a 'dessert' wine, I could imagine having this white as an in-between meal aperitif. Surprisingly delicious.
