The wine is a light straw colour with youthful green tinges, while the nose is lifted with aromas of musk, citrus and freshly crushed grapes. In the mouth it is alive with a vibrant and mouth filling sherbet flavour. A wine of universal appeal, the retained carbon dioxide gives a mild frizzante effect. Serve well chilled and enjoy while young and vibrant.
Muscat of Alexandria is part of the exotic Muscat family. The Romans are believed to have given the grape its name as they found its distinctive aroma akin to that of musk, and hence called it Moscato - smelling of musk.
It produces delicious, plump, juicy grapes and can produce a wide range of wine styles. If harvested early, it produces delicate, perfumed, crisp, dry white wines but if left on the vines several weeks longer it produces rich flavoursome dessert wines.
