Tasting - "Opera Prima Moscato"

Name: Opera Prima Pink Moscato
Variety: 97% Muscat, 3% Tempranillo
Region: Castilla La Mancha
Country: Spain
Year: N/A
Price: $5.95

Wine Shop Review: This is an amazing value for an inexpensive Moscato sparkler that is great for many occasions.  Its bright fruit aromas of lychee and lime are appealing and the flavors of honeydew, lime, and lychee are delightful. Great for cake or fruit-based desserts.

My Review: My absolute favorite from the tasting! I've only tried Moscato once before and I wasn't a huge fan, so when I tasted this one I was surprised by how good it tasted! The sweet fruity flavors definitely came through and I could taste the hint of lime.  The sparkling wine reminded me of a fruity 7UP. I bought a bottle and plan to serve it with a fruit tart of some sort.

I did not taste this wine with food.
