Winery ReviewLink "A vivid yellow-gold in color, this wine entertains the senses with fresh citrus and orange blossom aromas with a touch of sweet ginger spice echoed by bright, sweet tropical fruit flavors. Medium-bodied, the Orange Muscat features a balancing crisp acidity that brightens the finish. Pair with spicy cuisine, as an accompaniment to dessert or as an aperitif. 3.2% residual sugar. "

My Review: This wine smelled like candied orange peels and chewy spree, AKA extremely sweet. I was happy to find that it did not taste as sweet as it smelled, and instead boasted a decent acidity and citrus to balance out the sugar. I thought this wine was light and bright and would be an interesting wine in the summertime.
