(CNY Second Day at Andrew's Place). Strength direct fruity and floral, mineral sweetness in the middle and a lasting satisfying finish. Lovely !

A bit too sweet with an absolute absence of acid. Could do well a hot summer day if chilled properly. Reminds me of home made rubarb lemonade.

375ml. Colour is significantly darker than when I bought it (May?), but there's still plenty of effervescence and sweet, perfumed flavours of watermelon, rose jelly and strawberry.

Lurid pink and bubbles. Nose is floral, red fruits which follows through on the palate with strawberry and raspberry fruit with bright acidity, tingly bubbles on the tongue. A crown top closure which shows how serious this wine is, easy drinking, simple but enjoyable, the sort of wine Barbie would drink!

Aromas of peach, honey, and apricot. On the palate there id vibrant citrus with a sweetness to it. This was much better than I expected considering the closure was a bottle cap. ($5)

Smells of flowers, Mr. Bubble, and apples. Sweet, but the lip-smacking acidity keeps it well-balanced. Delicious. 88-89

An almost "too sweet" moscato with a slight hint of mass production but overall was pleasant and enjoyable to drink. My wife loved it, suggesting appeal to the female palate. Difficult to drink more than one glass.

Bristol Wine Company Winter In Store Wine Tasting (Bristol Wine Company, Victoria Street, Bristol) : Like a pink Moscato D'Asti, but Australian! A little more sugar, not quite as featherlight. Delicious stuff though. £5.95 for 375ml. Perfect for the summer and decent value.

Fuji apple and cranberry flavors compliment a nice mouthfeel and acidity. There is a distinctive bite on the back of the palate that contrasts the sweetness and gives the wine substance. Don't let the bottle cap fool you... It's quite good.

Sweet, sweet, sweet. Watermelon Jolly Rancher. Not at all like a good Moscato d'Asti.

Delicious. Like a strawberry soda with low carbonation. Kim says "The wine of springtime, sunshine and new born babies."

Beginning to show sediment in the bottle, still light, fun and tasty.

Fun stuff. Honey and strawberry notes, a bit floral. A bit cloying on it's own, I though, but went great with spicy food.

Pretty pink. The bottle looks like soda pop. Nose of cranberries and sugar. Nice flavours with a bitter sweet finish.

Great little bargin. I tasted this while having a bit of a cold so i couldnt smell much. Beautiful pink salmon colour. The palate shows fresh medium sweet candied red fruits, a strong malo note and long creamyness. This actualy comes off very grapey and floral with a nice "shwish" of purfume. The bubbles are delicate and plenty. Light body. Medium (-) acid. Moderatly long white cranberry juice finish. Excellent Quality. 88 pts. Drink now - 2010

First glass better than the second, but I just blame that on too much of a good thing. Easy to share and good before or after a meal. Fizzy, with all sorts of white as well as red fruit on the nose. This bottle made me want to explore more wines of the type.

Excessively drinkable, doesn't take itself too seriously. There's nothing innocent about this stuff -- it was gone in a flash. Strawberry, pink lemonade, downright sweet. We drank before dinner but I could see this complimenting strawberry shortcake or another fruit-based dish. Great for the summer, too. Refreshing. Let's not overthink it, folks...

a bit of strawberry and raspberry, refreshing with wonderful balance between acidity anbd sweetness. It held up to a sorbet, with a bite and effervessance that carried it across the desert palate.

A delicious surprise. Fruity, fizzy, and a little sweet - it's like a sophisticated wine cooler, and I mean that as a compliment. An excellent appertif or for those who need some sugar with their medicine!

A little sweetness, well balanced with some tart acidity; fun, enjoyable drink.

Pretty nice. Good fizz and fruit. Sweet and a little sticky, but was a nice refresher by itself for dessert.
