Almaden Moscato (5L, 10%)

Almaden Moscato is a sweet, light-bodied California Moscato made from Muscat and packaged in a 5-litre bag-in-box at 10% ABV. Produced by Almaden Vineyards, founded in 1852 and described as California's first winery, it earned Silver medals at the 2011 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and the 2011 San Francisco International Wine Competition. The 5-litre box replaces six and two-thirds standard 750ml bottles and reduces production and shipping carbon footprint by over 60% compared with traditional glass packaging. It shows fragrant floral notes, ripe peach, tropical guava and a gentle citrus lift on the nose. The palate is delightfully sweet with juicy peach, pineapple, Bartlett pear and guava, balanced by refreshing acidity. The finish is crisp and fruity, with lingering citrus and tropical fruit.
