2011 MUSCAT
WHITE WINE
“Our Muscat is pale straw in color with fresh floral aromas and just picked grapefruit. The palate is rounded, rich and sweet. The honey and apricot fruit flavors are balanced with a delicate acidity that keeps it fresh through to the lively finish. A lovely wine to pair with spicy Asian cuisine or serve after dinner with fresh fruit and angel food cake.” ~ Demetrio Papagni 750 ML ALC 12% BY VOL
