Curious Moscato 2010

The 2010 Moscato is rose pink in colour with a light spritz to add a tingle on the palate. Aromas of rose petals, musk and floral’s dominate the bouquet, whilst the palate bewilders with lovely thick sweetness and a crisp acid finish. This wine is perfectly balanced with lovely length and simple fruit flavours. This wine is best consumed in its youth.
Fruit for the Curious Moscato was harvested from a select vineyard within the Swan Hill region of Victoria during late February 2010. The fruit was crushed, pressed and cold settled before being inoculated. The juice was also fined prior to inoculation to ensure that the final wine is smooth and easy to drink. The fermentation was conducted at very cool temperatures ranging between 8-10C, with the fermentation period taking 10 days. To make certain sugar / alcohol balance was perfect, the ferment was measured daily for sugar and alcohol levels. The final wine was then fined, cold stabilised and filtered within a week to ensure the retention of the spritz and to keep the wine as fresh and fruity as possible.
The 2010 growing season allowed us to breathe a sigh of relief. With heat spells and bushfires in 2009, and higher than ideal alcohols in 2008, it seems that 2010 will produce wine with more elegance and balance. It was not without the odd scare though as higher than average rainfalls in March caused a few issues with disease, thankfully, the worst seemed to skip us. Overall 2010 looks to be a promising year with lower than average yields providing excellent quality and a long slow ripening season providing intense fruit characters amongst all varieties.
Easy drinking with low alcohol, the 2010 Moscato is perfect for a Sunday afternoon tipple or why not try it with a spicy Asian curry. Best served chilled.
