Funf (Moscato)


Name: Funf
Variety: Moscato
Region: 
Country: Germany
Year: 2010
Price: $8


Winery review:  
The third varietal in Fünf Wines lineup, Fünf Moscato has peach and honeysuckle aromas with fresh, sweet flavors of juicy tropical fruit, honeydew melon, Fuji apple and ripe citrus. Refreshingly sweet but not cloying, this wine is well balanced with a clean, mouth watering finish. This wine is delightful any time of the year and perfect for any occasion.


My review:  The scent of apple was the first thing to hit me.  After that, I detected some potential traces of peach.  The wine smelled very sweet.  Upon tasting this wine, apple was indeed the strongest flavor to come through.  There was a hint of citrus as well.  The wine was very sweet and did not have any noticeable heat to it.  With brie, there was no notable change in flavor for this wine.  The gouda cheese, however, helped to mask the tiny bit of bite the wine previously had.


I tasted this on its own at first, but then tried it once with brie cheese and then with gouda cheese.
