Details
This rather delicious sweet sparkler is a blend of Muscat and a selection of Traminers. The nose is alive with dried rose petal and orange peel aromas, fringed by a citrus undertow. On the palate, this is sweet and utterly smashable with a stone fruit character on the finish.

Origin: Piedmont, in north-western Italy. Mainly Grown In: Italy, USA and Australia. Key Facts: The word 'Moscato' is the Italian name for all varieties of Muscat grape, which is traditionally used for sweeter styles of wine. The most famous region in Italy is Asti, and thus the wine Moscato d'Asti is a popular one. This particular style is lightly effervescent and delicately sweet and has become the touchstone for the now international style that simply goes by the name Moscato. A hugely refreshing style when made well, the wine is filled with delicate peach and mandarin flavours, with hints of honey and candied citrus. The sugar and hint of fizz are in superb balance, making the wine very easy to drink... a little too easy sometimes! To add to this, the style is typically made low in alcohol... did someone say breakfast? Fun Fact: 'Hakuna Moscato' means No Worries!

Pairing guide
It’s impossible not to fall in love with this truly classic Moscato, which brings all that gorgeous giddy fizz to the table alongside mountains of tempting flavours. It’s always a good idea to contrast the sweetness inherent in these wines with biting salty flavours; salt cod, feta cheese, halloumi, and seafood like mussels and crab never fail to hit the spot. It’s great with dessert too, especially with puddings featuring berries and cherries, or bistro classics like poached pears and raspberry tart.
