How Moscato wine is made
Most wines are usually consumed for certain occasions, the moscato wine however is not only good for a special occasion but is versatile for an afternoon refresher, or just a regular social gathering because of its bubbly and sparkling sweetness. Believe it or not moscato wine is from the moscato grape, which is one of the oldest grape varietables that also includes many sub varieties. The common moscato family used to make these delicious drinks are Moscato di Canelli and Moscato Bianco. These grapes are first harvested and immediately pressed and filtered, after this process they are stored in freezing temperatures.
The next process is the longest procedure. It usually takes about a month at 15 degrees Celsius, the grapes are sealed in large sealed tanks for the fermentation process. The fermentation process continues until the right alcohol-sugar level is achieved, which for Moscato is about five percent alcohol and one hundred fifty grams of residual sugar. Finally the yeast is filtered out and is soon packaged and good to go.
Moscato wine, although has been rising in popularity in the past few years, is nothing new. In fact, moscato grapes are one of the oldest varietals of grapes. Moscato wine is also a healthier option of wine because of its very high acidity it helps balance the sugar.

Very cool David, that sounds really good. I'm from a big wine country in Northern California called Napa Valley. Let me know how it tastes when you consume Banrock. I haven't tried that one yet, I assume its a Australian moscato brand?

I just happen to have to hand a bottle of Banrock Station 2009 Moscato from Banrock Station Wines in South Australia. On the label "Light straw in colour with green hues, this Moscato displays fresh grapefruit and lemon aromas with flavours of passionfruit, pineapple and tropical fruits". Bliss! Not sure why this has not been consumed before! What country are you in Jay?
