Moscato

Moscato is Australia’s favourite sweet sparkler—light, lively, and bursting with fruit. Made mostly from Muscat grapes, it’s all about aromas of orange blossom, peach, nectarine, and tropical fruits, with a gentle fizz and a refreshing, easy-drinking style. Most Aussie Moscato sits at a lower alcohol level (usually between 5–7%), making it perfect for long lunches, picnics, or anyone after a lighter option.

You’ll find Moscato in white, pink, and even red styles, with the pink versions getting their blush from a splash of red wine or naturally coloured Muscat grapes. The sweetness is balanced by zippy acidity, so it never feels cloying—just juicy, fresh, and moreish. It’s a brilliant match for spicy food, creamy cheeses, fruity desserts, or just sipping on a sunny afternoon.

Regions like Riverland, Riverina, Barossa Valley, and Mornington Peninsula are leading the charge, but you’ll spot Moscato just about everywhere Aussie wine is made. If you want a wine that’s fun, aromatic, and guaranteed to please a crowd, Moscato is your go-to.
