Alfresco Moscato Rosa Frizzante
{THE FRUIT}
The fruit for this Moscato Rosa is sourced from premium vineyards suituated in the Barossa Valley and around South Australia. Grant selections only the best parcels of grapes to make this premium, delicate, fruit-driven wine with excellent balance, which is best enjoyed chilled on a warm Summers day.
{THE WINEMAKING}
The fruit was crushed and destemmed. The juice was then cold settled and inoculated with neutral yeast to retain the nautural fruit characters. The fermentation process was carried out at the cool temperature (below 10 degrees) for three weeks at which time the fermentation was stopped to retain natural grape sugars. The wine at just 8.0% alcohol was then bottled early and under low temperaturs to retain the natural carbon dioxide which appears in the wine as subtle elegant bubbles.
{THE COMMENTS}
This Fresh and lively wine is crimson in colour and shows alluring armomas of rose petals, turkish delight, peaches and musk on the nose. The lively palate shows rich ripe fruit flavours with strawberries and cherries and subtle sweet spices. The natural sweetness of the fruit is balanced by the elegant acid sturctur of the wine which finishes with a crisp, clean zingy taste. With light frizzante and low alcohol; the 2010 Grant Burge Moscato Rosa has great drinkability and is well suited as an aperitif or a perfect match to spicy Asian dishes or a plate of strongly flavoured cheeses.
