Produced by Aaron Bilcich in Auckland from 100% Muscat grapes grown in Gisborne, the judges were impressed by the lifted aromatics, fresh fruit and refreshingly long finish." "A great sparkling Muscat was a pleasure to see in the final line up," added tasting judge James Rowan. It'll definately be on my table/arm rest/front deck/back deck/kitchen bench this summer!"

"...modelled on the seductively scented, low alcohol, smooth Asti Spumantes of Italy. Offering the rich, sweet flavours of ripe Muscat grapes, grown in Gisborne, it's a delightfully perfumed wine, great for summer sipping."
