Winery Review: This light pink, slightly sweet Australian Moscato offers a flirtatious mix of strawberries and cream with a whisper of rose petal on the nose. Intense sweet fruit, playful frizzante bubbles and an unexpected, enduring finish all collide to make this a must try Moscato.
Personal Review: This wine was very light on the nose, and all I could really smell were strawberries with a hint of cranberry. The taste was of strawberries, flowers, and was well-balanced. The wine was very sweet and I enjoyed the way the bubbles hit my tongue. The wine was not very complex, but I still liked it. I would definitely say this is a great "beginner wine" to try because it basically tasted like a fizzy pink Jolly Rancher. I enjoyed this wine with a dinner at The Cellar in Blacksburg, Virginia. First, I tried the wine with a spinach and artichoke dip appetizer, which did not affect the taste of the wine. However, I would not have picked to pair this wine with the dish. For dinner, I had chicken souvlaki kabobs, asparagus, and potatoes. Again, the taste of the wine wasn't affected by the food, and it was not the best pairing, but it was not bad, either.
