The mango variety of Tropical Moscato is made from 88% Moscato grapes, 10% mango pulp and 2% passion fruit pulp, while the passion fruit is 95% grapes. There is now also a strawberry version, which I did not sample.
Both are sweet and fruity on the nose, with a strong floral sense. They’re sweet on the palate, too, and low in alcohol at just 5.5% abv. The passion fruit bottle shows a nose that’s a bit earthier. Honestly, I knew which was which and I couldn’t really tell the difference. Both are sweet and simple and don’t require much in the way of thought. I’m guessing they’ll be best served quite chilled, outdoors, on a hot summer day. They probably make a good base for a summery cocktail or two, with some gin or vodka in the mix.

Feb 21st, 2019Different type of moscato to try with an interesting flavor pairing. Wouldn't necessarily list as a favorite, but worth trying.
