Sutter Home Description
VINEYARD INFORMATION
Our Moscato is made from fruit selected from premier vineyards in California’s warm Central Valley, where long, sunny days give the grapes beautiful floral aromas, and luscious flavors.
WINEMAKING
Sutter Home has been producing this classic, fragrant, sweet wine for over 50 years—in fact, Moscato was the very first wine we bottled. To craft this lovely wine, our winemakers cap and drain the juice to increase the varietal intensity, and forego malolactic fermentation to maintain the wine’s refreshing acidity. To preserve its fresh, fragrant aromas and flavors, our Moscato is cold-fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel tanks.
TASTING NOTES
Sutter Home Moscato luxurious and sweet, offering delicate aromas of white peaches, rose petals and exotic lichee on the nose that lead to creamy peach, nectarine and juicy melon flavors that mingle with hints of caramel on the palate. The sweet flavors are perfectly balanced by refreshing acidity, and a vivid, crisp finish. Our Moscato pairs beautifully with light cheeses, sticky barbecued ribs, grilled shrimp, and fresh, fruity desserts. Its sweet flavors and bright finish make it a delicious counterpoint for spicy Thai, Indian and Chinese cuisine.
Ultimate Wine Challenge: 90 Points
This Moscato fills the room with a perfumed bouquet of honeysuckle, acacia, ripe peach, and poached pear. The sweetness on the palate is well balanced with a crunchy acidity. More exotic flavors of mango, kiwi, and honey linger on the long finish.
