Winemaker's notes
|
|
"Tasting Notes --
Colour --
Almost translucent, very pale straw
--
Aroma --
Lifted aromas of musk and floral notes immediately leap from the bouquet. Fruit characters of pear, peach, banana and pineapple backing up the zestful appeal.
--
Palate --
The palate has immediate appeal, balancing weight and texture - long and lean with the right degree of residual sugar and acidity, cleaning the palate for the next mouthful.
--
Winemaking
--
Made from 100% White Frontignac ( Muscat), it is always the first variety to be picked and the first wine to be bottled from a vintage. The essence of the Moscato style is in maintaining freshness, it is pressed, fermented, filtered, and bottled in quick succession.
--
Brilliant Disguise Moscato Selection Criteria
--
The fruit comes from 80 to 100 year old white frontignac vines grown in the Barossa Valley, South Australia. Once a victim of fashion, Moscato wines are now saving this variety from certain extinction in Australia. --
Food suggestion --
Serve chilled. An extremely versatile wine that is ideal as an aperitif, or the perfect palate cleanser with fresh fruits and/or lighter desserts. Works well with tangy, salty cheese such as feta or a young goat’s cheese."

"Sweet, and low in alcohol, the 2005 Moscato Brilliant Disguise is a noteworthy imitation of a top-notch Piedmontese Moscato. With 6.5% alcohol, a slight spritziness, and a touch of residual sugar, it is the ideal frothy aperitif wine. Beautiful aromas of tropical fruits and honeysuckle emerge from this crisp, refreshing, light-bodied white. However, these wines deteriorate quickly, so enjoy it over the next 6-9 months.
This brilliant operation is a credit to the meticulous winemaking of Michael Twelftree and his staff!"
