2011 Moscato

This Moscato is done in a D'Asti style and is in 750 ml bottles. A little different from our dessert Moscato. There is lower residual sugar and less alcohol.


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


Pairs wonderfully with roasted stone fruit (peaches, plums and pears) desserts, as well as honeyed figs. Also, delicious with fresh water fish, shellfish and most appetizers.


The Clarksburg appellation is ideal for producing many wonderful white varietals, mainly due to the 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 wellbalanced acidity. Grown in nutrient rich sandy, clay soils, the vines are trained into bilateral configuration on a California “T” trellis. Spur pruned, the vines are shoot, cluster and leaf thinned for 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.
