Semi Sweet Moscato 2020
Trade Tools
Argentina
Mendoza at the foothills of the Andes mountain range, receives the warm rays of sunlight over 300 days a year. The grapes concentrate its natural sweetness and balanced acidity, resulting in a fresh and crisp Moscato with intense tropical and floral notes, with a delicate touch of citrus and fresh and crispy tropical flavors like pineapple and stone fruits, refreshed and balanced finish with acidity and sweetness.
Harvest Note
Early harvest, healthy grapes and vines, ideal temperatures, deep wine concentration and an anticipated end of the harvest season. The 2020 harvest began around September/October after a mild winter, low amounts of snow and some late spring frosts. December and January days were very warm with scarce precipitation which caused the grapes to mature early. Grape harvest occurred earlier than usual this year, in January. 2020 was a truly healthy year both regarding the fruit and the vineyards. We experienced a decrease in quantity but a significant rise in quality. Regarding the wines, this vintage will display concentrated, delicious and memorable wines.
Tasting Note
Light straw color with golden hues. The intense fruity nose is reminiscent of tropical stone fruits and pineapple with a delicate touch of citrus. The palate is fresh and crispy with a slightly sweet, rounded, and refreshingly fruity finish.
