Finding a good quality, inexpensive sweet white wine is exceedingly difficult in Taiwan. The Sutter Home Moscato at under $500 is a very good choice.
This wine tastes quite a lot like a lighter bodied ice wine. In other words it has a high-quality sweetness, not the cheap, sticky sweetness of most other inexpensive sweet white wines. The abundant sweet melon and peach flavors are well structured and the wine has a surprisingly clean citrus finish. The 9% alcohol is not overpowering but is strong enough to give the wine some class. Match this wine with light seafood dishes and desserts. This is also a very nice wine with spicy foods including Ma-La Hot Pot! Serve this wine well chilled, about 6~8 ℃.
Sutter Home has been making wines for over a century. In 1947, the Trinchero family purchased Sutter Home Winery and helped build a reputation of producing good value wines. The family first started making Muscat wines over 50 years ago.
