Beringer Main & Vine Red Moscato (1.5L, 10.5%)

A sweet red wine blend from Beringer Vineyards, made from Moscato, Zinfandel and Petite Sirah and bottled at about 10.5% ABV in a 1.5-litre format. The Moscato brings floral and tropical-fruit character, Zinfandel adds red-berry brightness, and Petite Sirah contributes darker fruit weight and colour. Serve well chilled, between 45 and 50°F, to keep the sweetness refreshing. It also works over ice or in a Red Moscato Sangria with sliced stone fruit and a splash of club soda. The nose opens with lifted floral notes, ripe sun-kissed red berries and subtle peach sweetness, with a gentle citrus undertone. The palate is juicy, with blackberry and ripe cherry at the front, darker black cherry preserves at mid-palate and a whisper of baking spice. The finish is light-bodied, smooth and relatively brief, with lingering mixed berry and a faint floral echo.
