Tasting - Jam Jar Sweet White 2015

Name: Jam Jar

Variety: Sweet White - Muscat (Mainly Moscato)
Region: Western Cape
Country: South Africa
Vintage: 2015
Price: $15 Sale $7.95

Winery Review: This charming, easy-drinking Moscato offers flavors of peach, apricot, lychee and orange blossom. A lively jolt of acidity keeps it fresh and fruity. Fancy enough for a special occasion toast, yet sweet-natured enough to enjoy every day.

My Review: A mainly Moscato Muscat sweet white that is incredibly light and easy to drink.  The aromas were tough to iterate but I've settled on sweet, floral, and almost buttery in a way. It seems like the sugar will overpower the other flavors initially, but it does a nice job of getting out of the way to let floral notes and a dark, rainy feeling come over you.  Crisp and refreshing as it decrescendos to a soft finish.


Tasted without food.
