Banrock Station Pink Moscato Rosé 2009 5.5% alcohol about $10

There were no marketing materials so let’s start by quoting the back label. Light pink in color this Moscato displays fresh melon and grapefruit aromas with sweet lemon and tropical fruit flavors. Then it refers to the company’s global conservation projects. And now for my review.

At the first sips while I thought of strawberry soda with less fizziness and more alcohol the wine was tasty and refreshing. The first meal started with barbecued chicken wings in a simple tomato sauce. In response the rosé became more acidic. It was sweet but not cloying. With a barbecued chicken leg in Thai sauce, the wine tasted of strawberry and lemon. When paired with potatoes roasted in chicken fat, the Moscato’s acidity stepped up. But when it met a fresh tomato all I got was candy, candy, and candy.
