2025 Moscato Hand Crafted

South Australia Story: Crafted from two key grape varieties: Frontignac and Gordo Blanco. These aromatic varieties thrive in the sunny and warm climate of the region, developing vibrant and fragrant fruit characters that shine in every bottle. South Australia's perfect balance of warm days and cool nights allows these grapes to ripen slowly, enhancing their natural sweetness while retaining refreshing acidity. Vintage: The 2024 Vintage was initiated by a very wet spring after a relatively dry July, August and September. The wet period included two large rainfalls during November and early December leading to spoilt flowering, very low berry numbers and an extremely low crop in most varieties. These low crops were blessed with cool dry conditions throughout the three months up to vintage giving fabulous flavour development very much like the 2002 season which makes me confident of wines that will age brilliantly. Nose: The Moscato opens with a fragrant bouquet of lychee, honeysuckle, and nashi pear. Notes of tangerine and lemon sherbet add a zesty, playful edge. Palate: On the palate, fresh honeydew melon and lemon sorbet lead the way, followed by delicate hints of jasmine and starfruit. The sweetness is perfectly balanced with a lively freshness, making for a bright and refreshing wine. Pairing: This Moscato pairs wonderfully with a fresh fruit platter or light desserts like lemon tarts. It also complements spicy Asian dishes such as Thai green curry, where its sweetness and acidity can balance out the heat.
