2023 Moscato (Mendocino) 

“Peaches and nectarines enveloped by freesias? Sounds about right. This crisp still version of your classic Italian dessert wine delivers summer in a bottle regardless of the month. Fresh, fruity and floral, it originated with fruit sourced from Mendocino’s Redwood Valley. The palest of straw in color, it’s a delirious mosh pit of spring florals, summer and stone fruit. Honeysuckle, freesia and star jasmine stand out, enthusiastically aided by lychee, peaches, nectarines and some “Hey, what about me?” pineapple guava. Enjoyed best on a patio or beside a swimming pool, this is absolutely heavenly with lighter-than-air cheesecake, artisanal ice cream or a seasonal fruit pie or galette. In their absence, substitute whatever dessert you have. A low-alcohol delight at just 7%, our moscato is confidently sweet without being cloyingly syrupy.”

With light, brilliant notes of fresh peaches and freesia, this moscato is the perfect post-meal companion for any occasion. The sweetness is traditional to this type of wine and its rich fruity flavor is delightful, rather than overwhelming. It pairs nicely with fresh baked goods as well, making it a delicious addition for the brunch table. Let the airy sweetness of Muscat grapes dance around your palate as you imbibe this crisp, classic Italian dessert wine from Mendocino.
