Its light feel and refreshing flavour profile makes Moscato more than just a dessert wine though. They’re refreshing enough to be consumed at during a BBQ or dinner with friends. Muscat grapes are grown throughout the world, but specific wines often use grapes from specific areas. Moscato d’Asti is named after Muscat grapes, with origins to the Italian town of Asti. The Muscat grape’s high sugar content gives a Moscato wine its sweetness. The Muscat grapes, Muscat of Alexandria, or Orange Muscat, are also used in red wines and fortified wines, like sherry.

Contrary to popular belief, pink wines aren’t made from mixing red and white wine together. Most are dry wines made with red wine grapes with limited exposure to the grape skins, so the colour stays somewhat pale. That means that the Muscat Blanc grapes are the reason why pink Moscato has its pink colour. A still Moscato is made from Muscat Blanc or Moscatel grapes with an alcohol content higher than most Moscatos. Barefoot’s Moscato and Pink Moscato are examples of still Moscato wines. Pink Moscato typically has an AVB of 9% – meaning it’s relatively low and easy to sip! Pink Moscato Food Pairings This popular classic is rich in cherry, boysenberry and plum aromas. You’ll find merlot to be one of the sweeter red wines while still being typically mild. Enjoy the warm chocolatey, mocha finish with a smoky vanilla-oak aftertone. A medium merlot is the most versatile out of the reds and can be paired nicely with all red, smoked and cured meats. Merlot can also complement swordfish, grilled tuna, roasted chestnuts and all poultry. The whites (dry to sweet) When dinner’s afoot and you’re in the mood for a delicious vanilla ice cream or a delectable fruit salad, what wine do you grab? A Barefoot Moscato, of course!

HOW IS MOSCATO WINE MADE?

Sparkling Moscato is made from Muscat Blanc grapes. This style is originally from the province of Asti, Italy, so naturally it’s called Moscato d’Asti. This sweet frizzante bubbly wine has high aromatics and light or low alcohol level. Whether you’re brand new to the world of wine, or your a seasoned-sipper looking for delicious recommendations, this guide has all you need to know about Pink Moscato! What is Pink Moscato Wine? When it comes to pairing Moscato with foods, you need to remember that its flavours are sweet with hints of orange blossom, peach, and other fruit flavours. It’s better paired with creamy desserts and fruit tarts. Moscato tastes great with caramel, butterscotch, vanilla, or coconut flavours, too. Don’t sip it with chocolate, though — the flavours are likely too rich to pair well with the wine.

There are 3 major Moscato wine types: sparkling Moscato d’asti, still Moscato, and dessert Moscato. Which is the best depends on the pairings and when you’re drinking it. There’s nothing quite like smelling the sweet aromas of Moscato for the first time. Moscato offers one of the most unique scents available in modern wines, which is colloquially known as “Muscat Aroma.” Rosé wine is often fruity and sweeter than red and white. This is why, when choosing wine pairing food, a taming rosé can take on strong flavours. If seasoning, choose cumin, chilli, paprika or tarragon.

If you’re looking for the best Moscato and cheese pairing, then you want to go with creamier cheeses. Be sure to avoid sharp flavours because they could overpower the Moscato.So, how does Moscato get its fizzy texture? Unlike most wines, Moscato is bottled with a bit of carbon dioxide to produce some of the bubbles. The carbon dioxide helps to ensure not all of the sugar converts to alcohol, giving it the sweet flavour. Though Moscato is often sweet, its refreshing taste profile makes Moscato more than just a dessert wine. That’s why a dessert Moscato exists! This is similar for desserts. A dry white will love tasty citrus notes like sharp sorbet or lemon meringue pie, while sweet wine is best matched with banana bread, apple pie and caramel. Barefoot Bubbly Pink Moscato is deliciously sweet, releasing flavours of fresh berries, juicy cherries, red apples and other, subtler tastes such as orange and apple. It’s so delicious and light to drink, ideal as an aperitif, a treat with lunch or to raise a glass as a toast of celebration. When pairing food and wine, including herbs and spices, it’s best to follow these rules. If a glass of dry white is in your hand, sprinkle chives, tarragon, garlic, basil and sesame. For a sweeter glass choose a spice to contrast, like ginger or rosemary.
