Tasting - Rosé

 

Name: Barefoot Peach Fruitscato

Variety: Moscato

Region: California

Country: United States

Price: $8


Description: This deliciously sweet blend is made with rosé wine and natural flavors and bursts with aromas of juicy peaches. Barefoot Peach Moscato makes every day a little sweeter!


Online Reviews: "Light, fruity wine with flavors of strawberry, peach, apple, and citrus. Refreshing with a sweet, but crisp finish and a hint of elderflower." 


"Deliciously sweet layers of peach, a hint of watermelon and slight berries...delightful and refreshing."


Wine Folly: Surprisingly, the Wine Folly does not talk about fruitscato! It mentions a few other styles and regions of moscato and rosé but I am not sure how similar they would be to this wine. Page 138 talks about white moscato with the tasting notes of fresh grape, pineapple, mango, honeydew melon, peach, and lemon. 

On page 48, it talks about the process of making rosé wines. The most popular method is maceration where the grape skins are left to macerate in the juice to give it just enough color but not too much. 


My Review: Who wasn't had a Barefoot wine? It may not be considered a "real" wine, but it definitely tastes good and gets the job done. This wine smelled very floral. It was light and refreshing. I mostly tasted peach with a hint of watermelon and other berries. A perfect summer wine! I did not eat anything with this wine but I think cheese and crackers would have been the perfect addition. Maybe not a wine to drink all the time, but I will reach for it again in the summer. 

Here's me with the bottle!
