2007 Moscato

Luscious and aromatic, this sweet Orange Muscat is beautifully balanced.


Luscious and aromatic, this sweet Orange Muscat is beautifully balanced with wonderful aromas of orange blossoms and a hint of honeyed peaches.


Perfect when chilled and served as an aperitif or after dinner as a dessert wine. Delicious with vanilla bean ice cream or bread pudding. Also try with fresh fruit desserts and sorbets.


The Clarksburg appellation is ideal for producing many wonderful white varietals, mainly due to climate. Our vineyards enjoy hot, summer days from the Sacramento Valley, which allow the intense, fruity aromas to develop. But they are also exposed to the cool maritime breezes from the bay in the evenings giving the grapes a well-balanced acidity. Grown in nutrient-rich sandy, clay soils, the wines are trained into bilateral configuration on a California "T" trellis. Spur pruned, the wines are shoot, cluster and leaf thinned for a balanced wine and optimum flavor development.


Grapes were hand picked in the morning and gently pressed. Juice was cold settled and fermented cold in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation was stopped, leaving the perfect amount of residual sugar. The wine was then finished for bottling, never seeing any oak or malo-lactic.
