A great aperitif or accompaniment to your favourite desserts. Think fresh fruit platter or pavlova roll filled with lemon curd and blueberries. This scrumptious sparkling will match either with ease. It’s light-bodied and seamless with lifted floral and musk aromas accompanied by hints of apple and mint. Fresh, zingy acidity and highlights of green apple and floral flavours finish the picture. Serve chilled and enjoy any way you like.

VarietalV_MOSCATO
VinificationThe Azahara Sparkling Moscato is made from Muscat Gordo Blanco grapes and was fermented with an aromatic yeast to accentuate the fruit character. The slow, cool fermentation was arrested early, ensuring the alcohol content remained at a low level. The bubbles soon after followed and enhance the delightful and refreshingly sweet palate.

Not too long ago we sang the praises of a Deakin Estate red that was a measly 10 bucks. Here are two sparkling drops from the same mob for under $15 and, praise be, they are also very drinkable. Moscato isn't a style I usually cherish, so I was over the moon to discover this one isn't tooth-achingly sweet. With crunchy apples and muscatels on the palate plus a light spritz that doesn't overpower things, it's a wonderful aperitif. Slap down $12 and give it a go.

A strong musk and peach bouquet, with a fresh and lively palate; not too sweet and with enough acidity to provide interest and line.
