Online Reviews: "I got this from my caterer with my prepared a charcuterie board and individual homemade cheese cake The Premiere Pallette she brought the wine and now it’s our favorite we will definitely buy this again!"

"It tastes great with a hint of fruit, light wine and can be mixed to be cocktail."

Wine Folly: On page 138, the Wine Folly says that moscato can be in all styles dry to sweet, still to sparkling. This moscato was very sweet and sparkling. 

On page 139, it lists some of the primary tasting notes as fresh grape, passionfruit, pineapple, lychee, and mango. I mostly tasted a mango flavor.

My Review: I enjoyed this wine! As I mentioned from the Wine Folly, I tasted more mango than passionfruit. It tasted like a sparkling juice and was very refreshing. It was not a super strong wine, but enough that you could tell it was wine. I did not enjoy this wine with any food. I would recommend this wine to others and would drink it again!

Here's me with the bottle!
