You get all of the great Moscato characteristics, the aromatics, sweet melon and fruity freshness, without the cloying sweetness that comes along with it.

Botani Moscato 2014

95
Botani
Varietal: Moscato
Vintage: 2014
Country of Origin: Spain
Appellation: Sierras de Malaga
Retail Price: $19

Tasting Notes: An aromatic, full-flavored dry style, not “frizzante.” A bouquet of melon, peach, apricot and mandarin orange leads to bold, rich flavors of the same fruits that thoroughly coat the palate. The finish is crisp, quite dry and long. The wine is beautifully balanced, and is delicious by itself as an aperitif, but will complement seafood, pork, fowl, even curries, sate’s and Szechuan cuisine. 13.5% ABV.
