Winery Review: Ripe lychee, tropical fruits and musk on the nose as you near the glass. Lovely grape and stone fruits and on the palate is highlighted with the subtle sweetness and spritz that makes this such a fun drink. Low in alcohol and nicely balanced acidity ensure you will want more than one glass of this easy drinking wine.

My Review: This Moscato was crisp, clean and refreshing. On the nose, I got aromas of lychee, under-ripe peaches and papaya. The bubbly aspect of this wine added to the refreshing quality.  On the palate, this wine had a wonderfully peachy, plumy and green grapey profile. This would be a perfect wine to take to the beach and enjoy.

With food?: I did not taste this wine with food.
