River Retreat MOSCATO

Winemaking
The grapes were picked during the cool of the night to maintain the fresh varietal flavours, de-stemmed and pumped into the press.  Only the best quality free run juice was taken off, cold settled then racked to ferment.  The fermentation was controlled until the desired sweetness and alcohol balance was achieved.  At this point the wine was chilled to stop the ferment and maintain the natural sweetness. The wine was then stabilised, clarified and bottled. 

The Wine 
Pale green in colour with lifted citrus blossom and passionfruit.  A light, sweet and juicy wine, with vibrant flavours of pineapple and citrus. 

With Food
Antipasto and cheese platters are perfect however, pairing with a meringue or fruit based desert is Moscato’s forte.
