Mariposa 2024 Moscato - 12 Pack

 VINEYARD REGION: Victoria

THE WINE: Pale gold in colour the 2024 Mariposa Moscato is our finest expression of the Moscato style. The nose is lifted with aromas of freshly cut white petal flowers, citrus and tropical fruits, along with musk. On the palate, our Moscato comes alive with vibrant and mouth-filling flavours of passionfruit, citrus sherbet and white peach. The mild frizzante effect on the palate adds to its lively and fresh character while providing a balanced and seamless finish. Best enjoyed chilled while young and fresh.

THE VINTAGE: The 2024 vintage, shaped by climatic challenges, showcases the skill and resilience of our team. A wet spring led to a warm, sunny vintage period that was condensed and completed by Easter. While yields were down against long-term averages, the quality of both sparkling, white and red wines excelled, with aromatics, flavours and acidity promising a year of outstanding wines. Our 2024 wines are reflective of their variety and continues our pursuit of winemaking excellence.

THE WINEMAKING: The 2024 Moscato fruit was harvested in the cool nighttime to preserve its natural freshness and quality at the optimum sugar and flavour ripeness of 11.9° baumé. The fruit was pressed to stainless steel tanks where the juice was cold settled for 48 hours. The juice was racked and fermentation commenced with a specially selected yeast strain that enhances freshness and varietal character. In a slow and controlled manner and at a temperature of 12 - 14°C, fermentation continued for 12 days. At 6.7%v/v alcohol the fermentation was stopped by chilling the wine and filtering off yeast lees. After this, the wine was stabilised, and filtered before bottling.

FOOD MATCHES: An excellent match with Chickpea Curry.
