Tasting - First Light Moscato

Name: First Light Moscato
Variety: 100% Muscat of Alexandria
Region: Barossa Valley
Country: Australia
Year: Non-Vintage
Price: $15.00 (On Sale for $7.95)

Winery Review: 
Ripe lychee, tropical fruits and musk on the nose as you near the glass. Lovely grape and stone fruits and on the palate is highlighted with the subtle sweetness and spritz that makes this such a fun drink. Low in alcohol and nicely balanced acidity ensure you will want more than one glass of this easy drinking wine.

My Review: I think that this was the best Moscato that I have had to date.  The nose provided hints of tropical fruits, with pineapple and tangerine noticeable.  The particular part about this Moscato that I enjoyed the most was that it was not too sweet.  It provided a nice balance of sweetness and tropical flavors, with a little hint of earthiness.  Overall, it was very enjoyable!

I tasted this on its own with no food.
