Moscato-Rubino


Moscato-Rubino

  • Great bubbly taste - not as bubbly as the white Moscatos that I have had, but does balance the sweetness out
  • Strong berry/grape flavor - definitely on the sweeter side and I love it! It kind of reminds be of Ocean Spray's cranberry juice.
  • I would highly recommend this to someone who are new at drinking wine and what to start off with something sweet 
  • Be careful...this is a creeper....taste so good that you may drink the whole bottle

Here is a little bio from the makers:
Salt of the Earth is a fresh endeavor from Andrew Quady of Quady Winery, known for some of the best tasting sweet muscat wines in the world. It is a new company with new wine drinkers in mind. Comprised of the winemaking, management and growing team from Quady, Salt of the Earth delivers carefully crafted, distinctive moscato for a more affordable price.

Moscato Rubino is a sweet moscato made from Black Muscat and Muscat Canelli – the same grapes used for Red Electra, Quady’s most popular moscato. Both wines are sweet and aromatic. Both have a little spritz. The difference is in the alcohol. Red Electra’s alcohol is extremely low, only 5%. Moscato Rubino’s is 7.5%. Red Electra is very soft and grapy, like juice. Moscato Rubino is light and wine-like, full of ripe fruit, with a clean finish.

For customers looking for a versatile, crowd pleasing red moscato to add to their list, Moscato Rubino provides an ideal balance of sophistication and value that you won’t find anywhere else.
