This is the first time Peller has made this Muscat blend a Private Reserve. You usually find these grapes in their heritage blend white, but in 2007 they lowered the crop size (from 5.5 tons to 4 tons – to the acre) to try and get better quality fruit from the lowly Muscat grapes: Morio and Ottonel … and I think they have succeeded admirably. A 25-75 split (Morio-to-Ottonel), the wine is perfect for summer patio pleasures and sittin’ down on the dock at your nearest bay. The nose is what really sucks you in from the get-go: tropical fruit, with a big whiff of melon and peach. The big doesn’t just stop there, as the tropical continues in the mouth and flavour-wise you’ll taste honeydew, peach and ripe juicy pear. Touch of sweetness makes this one a lovely choice for any summer activity, or non-activity. Price: $16.95
