Tasting:

    Chilled before drinking. Clear, oat straw color. Ripe pears, lemon grass, fresh grapes, melon and barnyard aromas with hints of floral and spice. Smooth entry, fresh, tart and dry mouthfeel, medium body and 200-grit texture. Pear, ripe melon and lemon grass flavors. Bright acidity, and a long bitter finish. A delicious fruity beginning followed by a crisp, freshness that really makes it lively and refreshing. Very good Moscato Secco.
