Wine review: The Zibibbo variety is noted for its delightfully fresh aromas and light fresh palate making it the ideal variety to use in sparkling wine. The variety is part of the Muscat family and is delightfully fresh, this frothy, sweet ‘alfresco’ sparkling wine displays crisp floral aromas with citrus peel and creamy flavors on the palate. Pale straw in color, the wine shouts of celebration and exuberance, and with a modest 8% alcohol, is ideal on a lazy sunny afternoon with friends.
My review: South Australia would make Vegas proud with this Sparkling Muscat! This is definitely more of a dessert wine. It's sweet and light, tasting like fresh, crisp white grape juice (partly due to the lower alcohol content.) Imagine hiking in Red Rock Canyon in the early morning, and as you finish your long hike, the sun begins beaming down with intense heat. You drive quickly home and take a dip in the pool, and immediately after cooling off, you graciously imbibe this crisp sparkling wine alongside some apple slices dipped in caramel and some small-bites of chocolate. Survive the Vegas heat the right way.
