Mount Trio Moscato

Tasting Notes

The Mount Trio Moscato greets you with its attractive plush pink colour, a sign of the short skin contact before fermentation that helps preserve its fresh, fruity character. On the nose, it’s wonderfully aromatic, offering scents of rose water, fresh blossom, and Turkish Delight, with subtle hints of musk and candied fruit.

On the palate, this Moscato is light, refreshing, and brimming with sweet fruit flavours. The pink grapefruit and guava notes provide a vibrant and tangy fruitiness, while the residual sweetness adds a round, plush texture to the wine. Fresh acidity balances the sweetness beautifully, leading to a crisp and clean finish that makes this Moscato incredibly easy to drink.

The light spritz from the carbon dioxide retained during fermentation gives the wine a lively and refreshing mouthfeel, perfect for sipping on a warm day or pairing with lighter foods.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

• Fresh Seafood: Ideal with light seafood dishes such as prawns or oysters.
• Fruit-based Desserts: A perfect match for fruit tarts, sorbets, or panna cotta.
• Cheese: Pairs beautifully with soft cheeses such as goat cheese or Brie, as well as mildly flavoured blue cheeses.
• Salads: Try it with fresh summer salads, especially those with citrus dressing or tropical fruits.

Best Serving Temp:

Serve the Mount Trio Moscato well-chilled at 6°C to 8°C to preserve its freshness and the light spritz.
