Light straw in colour with clear green hues, the inaugural 2007 Banrock Station Moscato displays fresh, lifted grapefruit and lemon aromas, with wonderfully aromatic tropical fruits.

The wine is light bodied with retained natural fruit sweetness, showing flavours of passionfruit, pineapple and, as on the bouquet, tropical fruits. It is low in alcohol wine with a lovely soft palate. The slight sparkle gives the wine an attractive, refreshing lift.

Winemakers Comments

The fruit was picked during the cool of the night to retain freshness and fruit flavours. The juice was separated from the skins and clarified to ensure a fresh, clean fermentation. The temperature of the fermentation process was maintained around 15oC to retain the fresh, fruity characteristics of the fruit. The ferment was stopped when the desired sweetness was reached, in order to maintain the natural fruit sugar level.

Food Pairing

Enjoy as an apertif, or pair with a delicate cheese platter, dessert, or a crisp summer salad.
