Tasting - Jam Jar Sweet White

Name: Jam Jar Sweet White
Variety: 100% Muscat (Moscato)
Region: South Africa
Country: South Africa
Year: 2011
Price: $8.95
Winery Review:
"100 % Muscat. Soft floral hints add depth to the otherwise straightforward ripe peach and nectarine aromas. There’s a good balance in the mouth, with a nice acidic lift and slightly lime edge to cut the sweetness on the finish and close with the faintest hint of honeydew melons."

 My Review: 

This wine smelled very similar to most other Moscato varieties I have smelled.  Strong aromas of peach and lemongrass came across most strongly.  The flavor of the wine followed the aromas closely with strong notes of apricots, honey, and sweet white peaches with just a hint of lemongrass noticeable.  The sweetness faded with the aftertaste which ended with a decent acidic bite.  Overall, a nice wine that I tried without food.
