Tasting - " Yellow Tail Red Moscato Bubbles"

  • Name: Yellow Tail 
  • Variety: Red Moscato Bubbles
  • Region: South Eastern 
  • Country: Australia 
  • Year: Non Vintage
  • Price: Regular Price $10 Sale Price $5.95 
  • Shop/wine critic/winery review: With a gorgeous deep pink hue, this is a wine that offers scrumptious aromas of lifted tropical fruits, ripe fresh strawberries with black currant and raspberry texture. Its flavor is a vibrant Moscato, with fresh forest fruits and strawberries and a nice dose of sweetness. 
  • My review: On the nose I am reminded of the Welches' sparkling grape juice that is found around Thanksgiving and New Years. It also smells of several dark fruits like fresh crisp red delicious apples and large globular red table grapes. The wine is very carbonated and bubbly which allows the flavors to pop all over your palate. This does make it hard to swish to detect flavor as it causes a lot of foaming throughout the mouth. It has a flavor that is very reminiscent of sparkling cider with the apple taste remaining as well. There is a nice citrus in the taste to counteract all of the sweet from grapefruits. There are many more light fruits that are hard to detect but that complement the stand out flavors very nicely giving a very light refreshing drink. 
  • Food Pairing: I did not have any food paired with this wine.
