This niche varietal has grown in popularity amongst the 20 to 30 year age group whilst
enjoying a significant following with seasoned wine enthusiasts who enjoy a
lighter-styled wine with brunch, dessert, or on its own as an accomplished apéritif.
Winemaker Louis van der Riet describes the De Krans Moscato Perlé 2014 as being
a low alcohol (only 9%), yet full-flavoured natural sweet perlé wine made to be
enjoyed throughout the year. This light-bodied wine displays tones of honey and
exotic spice with a fresh, mouth-watering aftertaste.
Intended to be consumed young, while it's fresh
and vibrant, this wine is best enjoyed chilled and is the perfect partner to
apple desserts, fresh berries, summer salads, meringue pies and hazelnut based
desserts. Although dessert is Moscato’s forte, it works beautifully with cheese
courses, charcuterie or antipasto dishes. Its versatility, with a definitive
balance of sweet and acidity, and the lower alcohol also make Moscato an ideal apéritif
candidate, though it has certainly earned its stripes as the wine world's most
fashionable brunch-time guest as well. Available directly from the cellar or
most retail outlets nationwide the De Krans Moscato Perlé, presented in a
screwcap bottle, retails for approximately R40
per bottle.
