Review from online: "Just opened my second bottle. Shared with a friend, a none wine drinker,during an alfresco meal. She thoroughly enjoyed it. This wine just hits the right spot for sharing on a warm evening." - Les B, https://www.vivino.com/US/en/barefoot-pink-moscato/w/1823512#all_reviews
Wine Folly notes (https://winefolly.com/deep-dive/moscato-wine/): "Moscato wine is famous for its sweet flavors of peaches and orange blossom. The word Moscato (“moe-ska-toe”) is the Italian name for Muscat Blanc – one of the oldest wine grapes in the world! So, lets find out more about this fascinating wine."
"Pink Moscato is more of a marketing schtick than it is a classic Moscato wine style – even though it can be tasty! This wine is made with mostly Muscat grapes and usually dollup of Merlot to give it a ruby-pink color. Imagine the classic Moscato flavors with a touch of strawberry. If you love pink Moscato, you should definitely check out Brachetto d’Acqui."
My review: Sweet, a little fizz on the tongue, very fruity(specfically plum came out), very delicious :). Almost candy-like!
When had with fries, is less citrusy, brings out a rounder sweetness. I enjoyed this more than I thought!
When had with tangerine, the tangerine was sweeter, while the wine had more edge/ felt dryer. Was a little disappointed with the wine change, but quite happy with the tangerine.
