Description:
At 90 years of age, Robert Mondavi remains the global emissary for these wine. His vision was to create wines in California that belong in the company of the great wines of the world. Robert Mondavi is known for producing hand-crafted wines of distinct style. Representing the best of California wine growing regions, including the legendary Napa Valley, each of the wines offers unique qualities and characteristics. Robert Mondavi Winery is located in the heart of Napa Valley, California. The first major winery built in Napa Valley in the post-Prohibition era, Robert Mondavi Winery helped establish the foundation for the modern-day California wine business. Its mission-style architecture, with the expansive archway and bell tower designed by Cliff May, has become an enduring landmark that evokes California's winemaking history. The MOndavi Moscato d'Oro is made from the white Muscat Canelli grape which has an intensely perfumed character. There are only limited plantings of the delicate Muscat Canelli grape in Napa Valley and Mondavi selected these grapes entirely from our Wappo Hill Vineyard in the Stags Leap District American Viticulural Area . This region, located on the southeastern flank of Napa Valley, is renowned for its unique volcanic and gravelly loam soils. Mondavi tasted the Muscat Canelli grapes repeatedly in the vineyard to assess flavour development. When the grapes reached optimum maturity, they were immediately hand-harvested. Next the grapes were gently pressed in whole clusters in an enclosed membrane press to capture the grape's delicacy and minimize tannin extraction. Cold-fermentation of the juice took place in stainless steel tanks with a yeast strain selected to accentuate the variety's exotic floral character. Fermentation was stopped by chilling when there was still about 12.5%-unfermented sugar in the wine. This level of sweetness, balanced with crisp acidity, enhances the lush fruit flavours of Mondavi's Moscato d'Oro. Moscato d'Oro has aromatic notes of honeysuckle, ripe peach and citrus that weave through the silky, sweet flavours and crisp finish. (12 x 37.5 cl)

Franz Haas MOSCATO ROSA Montagna
Description: The Moscato Rosa from Franz Haas has a deep cherry pink colour. In youth, it has intense perfumes of roses and cloves which change into faded roses and redberry fruits with age. The wine is very complex and smooth on the palate. Moscato Rosa is best drunk as an aperitif or an after dinner wine and will improve with age. It is perhaps one of Italy’s most sought after sweet wines. The Moscato Rosa is vinified as a red wine, with maceration on the skins to extract more colour. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and is stopped by reducing the temperature. After fermentation, it is racked into oak barrels where it matures for approximately 8-12 months depending on the vintage, followed by a period of six months in bottle before release. The Haas family have been growers in Montagna in the Province of Bolzano, Alto Adige for generations. It is only with Franz, however, the current proprietor, that they have begun to produce and bottle quality wines. The vineyards are primarily situated on and around the hilly slopes of Montagna at altitudes ranging from 250-800m above sea level. (12 x 37.5 cl) Price: £175.29
