VINEYARD

Our Muscat is grown on the De Bortoli Rutherglen Estate, Melville’s vineyard on the eastern edge of the Rutherglen region. The site is west facing and produces Muscat with fine yet intense aromatics, freshness and amazing Muscat varietal flavours. Rutherglen is world renowned for growing and producing amazing Muscat due to its perfect terroir and climate for growing Muscat. We use these same grapes, Muscat Rouge à Petits Grains, which has a small delicate berry to make this Moscato.

TASTING NOTE

Highly aromatic, fresh and lively berry fruit supporting the bright sorbet characters. The light sparkle adds lift while the aromatics are balanced with the soft mouth feel, the sweetness smooths out any astringency with fresh spritz and soft acidity. The sorbet lingers in the mouth leaving your palate fresh and alive.

WINEMAKING

The fruit was picked and pressed cold. Juice was left to settle naturally and then racked clean. The wine was fermented cold to retain fresh fruit characters and fizz. Fermentation was stopped once a balance was reached between alcohol, sweetness, acidity and bubbles.
