Chalk Hill is a family owned winery found in McLaren Vale, South Australia.
Chalk Hill’s 2011 Moscato is a light yellow with a green tinge around the edges. As the bottle opens i get a lovely surprise with the bubbles that rise to the surface. The glass I used also created large bubbles that would rise to the surface.
On the nose it has a very subtle bouquet that becomes more pronounced in the mouth as you let the bubbles fizz to the side of your tongue. It smells fresh like spring sweetened with honey and balanced with citrus notes.
As you swallow the wine, it is refreshing and sweet with flavours of dried fruit (think a mix of apple, sultanas and apricots). Just before you swallow the citrus lemon and lime cleanses most of the palate. After swallowing, pause and you can taste the remaining honey that has coated the insides of your mouth.
You can find the 2011 Moscato for $18 a bottle, or the 2012 vintage here
