Tasting - First Light Moscato

Variety: 100% Muscat
Region: Barossa
Country: Austraila
Year: NV
Price: Regular Price $15 Sale price $7.95

Shop 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: In the past I have tried a Shiraz/Cab Sav blend from Thorne Clarke called "Shotfire" and found it very good. While overly sweet wines are not usually my thing this Moscato was done very well. The effervescence was subtle and supportive letting the peach and tropical fruits come through on the nose. The sweetness was reserved as well giving me just enough and I got excellent notes of passion fruit in the finish. A good wine.
