Jacob's Creek, Moscato Rose, NV, South Australia



For every action there is an equal an opposite reaction-Newton's Law
After the success of Jacob's Creek Moscato I had fairly high hopes for the Moscato rose. I am an eejit and no mistaking. On the nose flavours of strawberry laces and candy floss had my heart sinking. The palate lacked all the positive aspects of the white Moscato as without the acidity to balance out the sweetness the claggy feeling was there in full force. The flavours were not of fresh fruit but of pick and mix-fake cherries, marshmallows and more strawberry laces. Thankfully the finish is short but if you are offered the choice between the two Moscato's; don't take the red pill.
