	Lillypilly 2008 Moscato Region : Leeton Australia Alcohol : 10.0%, 750ml Variety : Muscat of Alexandria, Semillon Available in : Australia Notes : The late harvested Muscat of Alexandria grapes create a delicious aroma of honeysuckles and jasmine. Delicate palate, with tropical fruit and melon and wonderful balance of sweetness with a fresh lively finish. A great match for lighter desserts, especially platters of fresh fruit and soft cheeses. Also an attractive chilled aperitif. Muscat of Alexandria is one of the oldest of grape varieties. The variety is presumed to have originated in northern Africa and may well have been harvested in the vineyards of ancient Egypt. The flavours of muscat of Alexandria are very close to most people's interpretation of the term "grapey" and the variety is ideally suited to producing medium-sweet, but highly refreshing, wines such as this. We also encourage the development of botrytis in part of out muscat of Alexandria vineyard and use the variety to produce some of our botrytised sweet whites.

One for Lunch PSNews. " This is a wine that's delicate soft and grapey with all the hall marks of Muscat aromatics..." See Clipping PAST VINTAGE REVIEWS REFRESHINGLY CRISP: Lillypilly Estate 2006 Moscato ... The nose is very aromatic with musk and herb notes. The palate is fresh as a daisy with balanced acidity together with peachy, apricot and pineapple fruit flavours. The wine is easy drinking if you have a sweet tooth, although it's not overly sweet. It is refreshingly crisp with acidity to match. Jim McMahon, Education (Sydney) 30 July 2007 — SEE CLIPPING A VERY GLUGGABLE DROP: Lillypilly Estate 2006 Moscato ... Sweet, fragrant with lashings of passionfruit, lychees, musk, rose petals and frangipani. Delicate and lightweight yet also alluring and inviting. Smooth and easy drinking with good acidity that balances the ripe fresh fruit characters. Lingers long on the finish. A very gluggable drop. Try this with stuffed king prawns.
