Tasting - "Butterfly Kiss Moscato"

  • Name: Butterfly Kiss
  • Variety: Moscato
  • Region: Southern Region (Chile) 
  • Country: Chile 
  • Year: 2012
  • Price: Regular Price $13 Sale Price $5.95 
  • Shop/wine critic/winery review: Aromas of honeydew and apricot, gently kissed by orange blossom, candied pineapple and a hint of lime zest.
  • My review: On the nose it smells as if I am in a large field of flowers of all colors in bloom. There is a wet white grape smell that tastes over after the flowers dance away. The fruits are easy to pick out, as there is a distinct apricot smell. It ends with the sweet smell of peach cobbler. The taste is a sweet slight fizz of a fresh bottle of carbonated water. There is a slight dandelion taste that is surrounded by apricot and melon to give it a nice fruity floral combination. At the finishing taste there is a bright pink grapefruit with sugar coated on it giving it the most pleasant taste of all the wines tried this week. 
  • Food Pairing: I did not have any food paired with this wine but it would be great with fruit, desserts, or a light fluffy cake. It is also good to drink without food.
