VAJRA MOSCATO D'ASTI 2009 Moscato d'Asti is one of the wine world's best kept secrets. A slightly sparkling, sweet and grapey wine, with a refreshing palate and only 5.5% alcohol, this is a fantastic wine that works well, chilled, as both an aperitif and with, or as, desert. Suspend your disbelief and try a bottle. VINEYARD Vajra grows his Moscato grapes in a single vineyard site in Mango, in the heart of the Moscato d'Asti zone. It is a south-facing, 2.5 hectare vineyard planted on a very steep slope, at 420-470 m above seal level. The vines are trained in mixed Guyot system and are planted between 1986 - 2007. The planting density is 3.600 vines per hectare. GRAPE VARIETIES 100% Moscato VINIFICATION The grapes were hand-picked and manually sorted in September. Soft pressing was followed by cold settling. Fermentation lasted for a week in stainless steel tanks at 14°C. There was no skin contact. Unoaked, the wine was held in temperature controlled stainless steel tank to retain freshness until bottling. TASTING NOTE Pale yellow in colour, with very fine refined fizz, persistent and creamy. On the nose it has perfumes of apricots, peach and citrus, followed by herbal notes. On the palate it is semi-sweet and lightly frothing, with a soft, fresh mousse and a lively peach and apricot character and a clean, fresh finish. Excellent ccompaniment to cake or fruit based desserts.
