Vineyard Notes
The Slate Creek vineyard around the homestead of Chalk Hill produced its first crop of Muscat à Petit Grains this year and the resulting wine displays beautiful lifted fruits and aromatics
Winemakers Notes
The balance between the low alcohol, natural fruit sweetness and the lifted aromatics in this wine, came with its challenges. Parcels of fruit are harvested at different times and the fermentation is closely monitored to ensure we bottle the wine at its aromatic peak. This wine is a gourmandise!
Food Pairing
The Chalk Hill Moscato is the perfect aperitif. It can be enjoyed served over crushed ice with a slice of lime. It will also compliment grilled fish and a wide range of delicious desserts
