Vintage Conditions:
The grapes for this wine are sourced from two of Western Australia’s most celebrated regions: Margaret River and Mount Barker. These areas provide ideal growing conditions, with warm days and cool nights, which preserve the natural acidity and freshness of the fruit. Harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes deliver vibrant flavours and natural sweetness, ensuring a perfectly balanced wine.

Winemaking:

This Moscato is made with care to retain its light and vibrant character. The fermentation process is kept short, leaving the natural sugars of the Muscat grapes unfermented, imparting a delicate sweetness to the wine. The crisp acidity from the Riesling balances this sweetness, creating a wine that is refreshing, lively, and easy to drink. With a low alcohol content of just 7.0%, the wine is light and perfect for leisurely enjoyment.

Tasting Notes:
The Pitchfork Moscato 2021 is a bright, pale pink wine that opens with a lifted, floral nose of Muscat, complemented by zesty lime and subtle floral notes. The palate is fresh and zippy, with a light fizz that adds to its charm. The wine is beautifully sweet, yet the crisp acidity ensures it’s never cloying. It’s effortlessly drinkable, making it hard to stop at just one glass.

Food Pairing:
This Moscato pairs beautifully with light, fresh dishes such as soft cheeses like brie or goat’s cheese, fresh seafood, and crisp salads. It’s also a fantastic match for fruit-based desserts, offering a refreshing contrast to richer flavours. Ideal for casual gatherings, celebrations, or as a delightful treat on its own.
