Crittenden Estate 'Pinocchio' Moscato NV

Grapes from King Valley/Swan Hill regions. The wine was cold fermented (10-12deg C) until approx. 6.5% of alcohol by volume was converted, at which stage the ferment was stopped. No oak handling. A beguiling nose of lychees and ginger with a delicious frizzante. The sweetness is balanced by refreshing acidity and playful bubbles. Low alcohol.
