Collection: Moscato | Sweet & Sparkling Styles

Moscato — Sweet & Sparkling Wine

Moscato is one of the world's oldest and most aromatic grape varieties, producing wines celebrated for their intense floral and fruit character, low alcohol, and refreshing sweetness. The name derives from the Latin for musk — a reference to the variety's distinctively perfumed, grapey aroma that makes it instantly recognisable and widely loved.

Our Moscato collection spans Australian lightly sparkling styles, Italian Moscato d'Asti, flavoured expressions and alcohol-free options — united by the variety's signature approachability and aromatic intensity.

Australian Moscato

Australia's most popular Moscato style is lightly sparkling — frizzante in character, with gentle effervescence, vibrant fruit aromatics and refreshing sweetness at low alcohol. Brown Brothers of the King Valley pioneered this style in Australia and remains its benchmark producer, with expressions ranging from the classic Sparkling Moscato to flavoured innovations including Lush Lychee, Pineapple Splash and Strawberry & Hibiscus Spritz.

The King Valley's cool climate and Italian heritage make it Australia's natural home for Moscato. Elevated vineyards, significant diurnal temperature variation and the region's long association with Italian varieties produce wines of genuine aromatic intensity and freshness.

Moscato d'Asti

Italy's Piedmont region produces the world's most refined Moscato — Moscato d'Asti DOCG. Delicately sparkling, low in alcohol (typically 5–6.5% ABV) and elegantly sweet, these wines display white peach, orange blossom, apricot and honey aromatics with fine persistent bubbles and refreshing acidity. Paolo Saracco is among the benchmark producers of the style.

Moscato Styles

Sparkling Moscato — The classic Australian style. Lightly sparkling, aromatic and sweet with grape, lychee and floral character. Low alcohol and immediately approachable.

Flavoured Moscato — Contemporary expressions combining Moscato's aromatic base with natural fruit flavours. Brown Brothers' range includes Lush Lychee, Pineapple Splash and Strawberry & Hibiscus Spritz.

Pink Moscato — Rosé-hued styles made from pink Moscato varieties or blended with red grapes, adding strawberry and berry character to the variety's floral aromatics.

Moscato d'Asti DOCG — Italy's elegant interpretation. Delicate bubbles, lower alcohol and refined sweetness with extraordinary aromatic complexity.

Alcohol-Free Moscato — Modern techniques preserve the variety's aromatic character and sweet profile without alcohol. Brown Brothers Moscato Zero is the benchmark Australian example.

Serving & Pairing

Serve Moscato well chilled at 6–8°C. Best enjoyed young and fresh to appreciate peak aromatic intensity. Pairs naturally with fruit-based desserts, fresh fruit, soft cheeses, light pastries and Asian cuisine — particularly Thai and Vietnamese dishes where the wine's sweetness complements spice and aromatics.
