Long Flat - Red Moscato 2009 (Australia)

I must be in love with Moscato! Today's review would be on Moscato again! Haha! And a Long Flat one for that matter of fact. Long Flat should really start paying me! Haha! Back to the wines...


You might be wondering, didn't I just had a review on the Long Flat Moscato just the last post? Yes I did, but there is a slight difference in today's review, because its a RED Moscato! Coming from a similar species of grapes, the Red Moscato actually comes from a Black Muscat grape variety (thus red moscato). Strange but true, this wine tasted almost identical to the Moscato wine from Long Flat.

The Red Moscato has a slight fizziness similar to that of its cousin (the Moscato). However, it has a much more beautiful colour than the white moscato. The slight tinge of redness in this wine is truly attractive, almost glowing I would say. In terms of fragrance, it gives of a slight tinge of fragrance like the white one does. Give it a closer sniff and you will be able to get that fruity fragrance that is absent in the white one.

This is such a pleasant almost-red-wine that it is suitable for easy drinking, especially on a hot afternoon! Though almost identical to the white Moscato, it does have a slight kick in it that scores it slightly higher than its white counterpart I would say:

Fragrance: 5.5/10
Taste: 7/10
After-taste: 7/10
Value-for-money: 7.5/10 ($19.00 @ NTUC) 

Final Words: Red or White they are almost equally good! I would get a Moscato anytime! Perhaps more reviews on the different Moscato I can find soon!
