winemaker's notes

Chalk Hill Moscato is a classic example of this Northern Italian varietal with its fragrant floral aroma, low alcohol and crisp refreshing taste.

 

This wine is best served chilled and is versatile enough to be drunk as either an aperitif or a dessert wine. It has lifted aromas of rosewater, citrus and apples with a pale golden colour.

 

The wine should be 'frizzante', an Italian word meaning lightly sparkling, with soft effervescence. It has flavours of peach and citrus and a firm acid structure, making it a refreshing drink that compliments a dessert of peach, pear, apple or berries, and it provides a beautiful contrast to chocolate.

 

The modest alcohol of 7.5% is a little over half of what is normally enjoyed in table wines. As an aperitif, it is delightful in a tumbler with a wedge of lime.
