The White Knight

2010 Moscato

Notes

The 2010 White Knight Moscato is a brilliantly crisp and fruit forward wine with aromas of ripe Lychee fruit, Tangelo, and night blooming Jasmine. Just off-dry, this wine seamlessly balances fresh and crisp minerality with the tanginess of Asian pear and ginger lemonade. It’s languishing mid-palate finishes with the suggestion of fresh brewed green tea.

Our Moscato is a blend of Muscat Canelli, Muscat Alexander, a touch of Orange Muscat and a medium helping of Pinot Grigio. Both varietals were grown in various appellations along the California coastline and central valley, where Muscat varietals thrive. The wines were arrested mid fermentation to leave residual sugar from the grapes, which we believe this is among purest expressions of the Muscat varietal.

Pairings

Enjoy this wine as an aperitif, with prosciutto wrapped melon, goat cheese pop-over’s, Thai spiced calamari, or as a lovely and satisfying digestive.
