Easy drinking, lower-in-alcohol, and very food-friendly, these four moscatos are a great (re)introduction to the style.

2019 Chambers Rosewood Vineyards Moscato
Rutherglen, Victoria
Pale pink in colour with aromas of rose petal, musk stick and grapes. The rose petal and musk stick carry through to the palate, resulting in a wine that’s fresh and lively, and sweet but not cloying. Made from muscat á petit grains rouge.

2022 Pizzini Brachetto
King Valley, Victoria
Lightly sparkling and low in alcohol. Featuring bright watermelon and berry notes, this wine starts sweet and finishes dry. A perfectly balanced and refreshing drink on its own or for something different add fresh ginger, mint and lime, it's a real crowd pleaser.
