Rosemount Estate
Moscato
Australia
2012
$12 --> $3.95
Winery Review: "Clear, medium-lemon yellow in appearance; lovely citrus and honeysuckle aromas with lemon, honeysuckle, apple and ripe yellow plum flavours. Serve chilled with angel food cake or fresh fruit and mild cheeses."
My Review: Moscato, and other extremely sweet wines, are wines I am just not very into. Luckily, this wine was a bit more acidic and toned down in the honeysuckle scent than most others I have tried, with a slightly sweet apple flavor as well, but it was still too sweet for my taste. I could see this pairing well with a light and sweet dessert as the review suggests but I always prefer a rich red paired with a chocolate dessert over the light and sweet ones. In my opinion, this was a very well done Moscato (especially at the reduced price) but I would still pass as this is just not a wine that appeals to my tastes. I would (and did!) definitely recommend this wine to my friends who do enjoy sweet wines.

This wine was tasted without food.
