Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes:

A blend of Muscat 97% and Tempranillo 3%. This fine sparkling presents an intense aroma of fresh berries and tropical fruits with hints of white flower petals. Delicate bubbles caress the palate offering a silky and pleasant sweetness well balanced by a crisp, refreshing finish. Ideal on its own, as an aperitif or with all types of sweets and desserts. Serve it very cold, between 7 and 9°.

Personal Tasting Notes: 

 This wine was my favorite of the five tasted this week. I detected a slight aroma of fresh mint and soap.  Also the Moscato had a flavor of raspberries and oranges.  However with a slight hint of pepper this wine did have a slight spice to it.  This wine was a light pink color almost that of a pink rose.  Also the wine was sweet and lingered on the palate only a short time unlike the other wines tasted this day which were considerably drier.
