Description

White Moscato with a pale lemon-yellow hue and the faintest green gold fleck. The palate is a festoon of flavour with florals and a musk notes showing through. The combination of spritz, acidity, very gentle sweetness and low alcohol make this a perfect aperitif wine and a great counter to a warm day. Serve cold as an aperitif or as a light dessert wine. Pairs well with gourmet cheese platters.

• Vintage Notes

  After the resent drought culminating in the 2020 bushfires, the wet winter and spring of 2020 was a welcoming relief. The soil and the vines were given a much need reprieve and while the financial pressure the Hunter’s Vignerons endured tested everyone in the Valley the crop yields for the 2021 harvest were a small win. With grapes delivering record yields, it with the Growers with the knowledge and experience who got those crops ripe. Vineyard health and good management saw Bonvilla harvesting grapes in top condition with excellent flavour. Semillon and the other whites look exceptional and while the Reds are lighter framed, they will result in some classic medium bodied Hunter styles.

• Winemaking

  As far as we know, this is the only White Moscato style made in the Hunter Valley. In the traditional home of this style, Piedmont in Italy, these wines are described as “Frizzante”, meaning lightly sparkling. Very pale lemon yellow with the faintest green gold fleck of colour. Like walking into a garden full of Honeysuckle and jasmine which are surrounded by the most pale pink petalled Roses. There is a hint musk as well. The palate is a festoon of flavour with florals and the musk note showing through clearly. The combination of spritz, acidity, very gentle sweetness and low alcohol make this a perfect aperitif wine and a great counter to a warm day. Enjoy this wine in its youth.
