I like Moscato, it is the ideal lunch time wine due to its low alcohol volume. It is also generally cheap, a small group of committed souls could create an impressive collection of empty bottles on their table at a Riverina wine festival, one would imagine.
This spritzy wine smells and tastes just like white table grapes. It lacks enough acid to bring the fruit sweetness into balance, thus the second glass was difficult to drink. Brown Brothers recommend serving it “well chilled”, this would be a good way to hide some of the sugar.
The conclusion? Drink an Italian import such as the Castello del Poggio Moscato D’Asti 2005 instead.

Murray,
Agree with your comment. It is fine and fun, until you have tried the original - after that there is no return.
