Description

Moscato (aka Muscat) has a reputation for being sweet and a bit gluggy, whereas the team at Saracco have clearly prioritised freshness above all. This Moscato Bianco is also a world away from the Brown Muscat often used for Australian fortified.

A teaspoon of sugar backed up by a slap of acidity and low alcohol; An incredibly fine, delicate sparkling with stonefruit, citrus and mint making up the core flavours.

Summer in a glass anyone? Works in Winter too.

92 Points - "“Aww, nectar”, quips GW. We’re drinking this in the sun with our shirts off in our y-fronts and foil reflectors under our chins with cucumber rounds on our eyes. How moscato should be drunk.

It’s brilliant drinking, peachy iced tea, a little loose, wild honey character, some preserved lemon, a lick of chalky minerality too in a light pucker somewhere in there. Refreshing, clean, quite concentrated and with very light frizz of tickly bubbles barely there. A vibrant, expressive and true-to-style rendition. “Needs some ice”, GW says as he rolls over to sun his bum. Perfect." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

After harvesting, the bunches are gently pressed to extract the most flavourful juice from the outermost part of the grapes. The must is kept in stainless steel containers at -3°C, where it can be kept for months. When there is market demand, it is then transferred into autoclaves for temperature-controlled fermentation, microfiltered for purity and then bottled to keep the freshness and flavours intact.
