Tulloch decided to add a Moscato to their cellar door range. Unfortunately the weather gods had other ideas and Muscat grapes were off the agenda. Not to be deterred, Tulloch set about to make a style of wine in the same vein as Moscato from Verdelho. Verscato is Tulloch's slightly pink and slightly sparkling take on the more traditional Moscato style. Verscato is less than 8% alcohol, the perfect accompaniment for brunch, and positively lovely as an aperitif or dessert wine. Versatile and pretty, what more could you ask for?.
Introducing Verscato, the innovative new luscious wine from Tulloch, lower in alcohol, with a pink tinge, a vibrant fizz and a hint of sweetness, finished off with stunning contemporary packaging. Originally, Tulloch planned on making a Moscato, but the dreadful conditions in the Hunter Valley during the 2008 harvest saw the Muscat crop fail. Not to be deterred, the decision was made to innovate instead and utilise the exceptional Verdelho fruit that Tulloch does best in the formulation of Verscato. From Tulloch's award winning and expansive Verdelho vineyard in the Upper Hunter, combined with select parcels of fruit from the JYT home vineyard in the heart of Pokolbin. Alcohol 7.5%
TASTING NOTES
An elegant light pink blush with a hint of spritz. A bouquet full of violets, rose petal and turkish delight. Sugar and acid balance creates a vibrant and refreshing palate. The turkish delight and rose petals aromas persist, culminating in an inviting spritzy finish. Moscato is generally low in alcohol with a slight spritz and a hint of sweetness. Tulloch have captured all of this and more, with a fun and funky packaging to boot. Enjoy while young and fresh.

About Tulloch Wines
The Tulloch story began in 1843 when James Tulloch arrived in Australia from his homeland of Scotland
In 1895, Jame's grandson, John Younie Tulloch (J.Y. Tulloch) owned the Branxton General Store and accepted an unusual settlement for a debt owed to him - a 43 acre property in nearby Pokolbin. Tulloch took an immediate liking to the property and the five acres of neglected Shiraz vines it contained and undertook his first foray into viticulture and winemaking, which began the family tradition.
