Details
A pale apricot in the glass with a gentle bubble, this is Moscato at its fragrant best; floral muscat, rose and lychee aromas abound. It’s juicy, effervescent and tangy on the palate, fruitily sweet but balanced by lively acidity and low alcohol. Fresh, embracing, low in preservatives and very moreish - the perfect drink for a weekend brunch!

The Reschke family have lived in Coonawarra for over a hundred years, arriving in 1906 when Henry Albert and Alice Jane Reschke bought a cattle property they called Koonara after the newly named area; at the time the region was known as the Penola Fruit Blocks but many people there were keen to make this new Coonawarra name stick. Eight decades later in the ‘80s, Trevor Reschke started a hobby vineyard on the family land. The wines were initially made just for family and friends, but they proved such a success that in 1999 he decided to release their first bottles for sale. Today the cattle stud on the property is still there, but wine has taken over the family business. Now Trevor’s son Dru, his wife Nicole and their girls Lucy and Alice live in the family homestead at Koonara, surrounded by their vineyards. Dru has created a sustainable ecosystem, with the vineyards certified organic since 2017. Here’s cheers to another hundred years at Koonara!

Pairing guide
Our obsession for Moscato just keeps deepening, and this delicious semi-sweet number from Koonara merely adds to our devotion. It’s a great wine for exploring contrasting flavours of sweet and salty - it’s especially good with cured pork products, salt cod cakes, crab salads and all kinds of fresh or raw fish and seafood. You’ll also get great results pairing it with berry-based desserts, soft and creamy cheeses and sweet-sticky chicken wings or other barbecue classics. Yum!
