Australia

Though Australia lacks the history and tradition of other top wine-producing countries like France and Italy, it has definitely made its mark on the international wine market in recent years. During the 1990s, winemaking and wine exports boomed in Australia. Though the market has come back to earth a bit in recent years, Australia is still the fourth-largest exporter of wine in the world. When casual wine drinkers think of Australian wine, they probably think of the critter-laden labels of Yellow Tail and The Little Penguin, among others. And while large wine companies dominate the Australian list, there are also a great number of smaller producers creating highly-rated, award-winning wines. The majority of Australian wine is produced in South Australia, with most of that (those “critter wines”) carrying a South Eastern Australia appellation. Subregions such as Barossa Valley, Coonawarra and McLaren Vale are home to smaller producers and higher quality wines. Victoria and New South Wales are also significant regions, and wines from Western Australia are reaching America in increasing numbers. Though Shiraz is the grape most associated with Australia, they’ve also had great success with Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Riesling and Grenache. |
Moscato
Top countries producing this wine: |
Moscato is the Italian word for the ancient white grape variety Muscat Blanc à Petit Grains. It’s Greek in origin, and is used today in the Aegean appellation of Samos to produce dessert wine. In Southwest France, the grape is widely used in the vins doux naturel wines of Roussillon that are commonly sold in half bottles. Muscat Blanc à Petit Grains has an extensive family tree — Muscat de St.-Jean-de-Minervois, Muscat de Beaumes de Venise and Muscat Rivesaltes are also superb sweet examples of this grape’s explosive fruit flavors. Moscato is grown all over Italy, where it is the country’s fourth most planted white grape. Especially successful in Piedmont, Moscato d’Asti is lightly sparkling, refreshing wine with a mouthwatering sweet and tangy flavor, much like biting into a ripe, juicy pear. Golden in color and perfumed with characteristic scents of fresh grapes, tropical fruit and flower blossoms, Moscato is growing increasingly popular among wine enthusiasts who prefer off-dry to semi-sweet wines. |
