Moppity Vineyards 'Twelve Signs Scorpio' New South Wales Moscato 2024 - 12 Bottles

Winery Background

Moppity Vineyards is a family‑run establishment in the Hilltops and Tumbarumba regions of New South Wales. The Twelve Signs range is dedicated to approachable varietals with personality, Scorpio Moscato brings a sweet, aromatic style to the series sourced entirely from local NSW vineyards. 

Vineyards and Vintage Conditions

The 2023/24 vintage for Scorpio Moscato comes from cooler high-altitude sites in Hilltops and Tumbarumba, where naturally elevated acidity helps offset the sweetness of the Moscato grape. The outcome is a well-balanced wine with floral and citrus notes intact.

Winemaking Process

Fermentation was handled in stainless steel with early bottling to preserve floral aromatics and fresh sweetness. The wine finishes dry rather than cloying, thanks to well-judged acid balance.

Tasting Notes

Pale golden with lively aromatics of pear, citrus and floral honey. The palate offers clean fruit flavours, with sweetness balanced by zesty acidity and a dry finish. It feels fresh, approachable and fruit-driven without heaviness.

Food Pairing

This wine pairs beautifully with light desserts such as fresh fruit tarts, poached pears, or panna cotta topped with seasonal berries. It also complements fruity salads or soft cheeses served with quince or a touch of fruit compote.

Story Behind the Wine

Scorpio Moscato is a true expression of the varietal, offering floral aromatics and fresh fruit flavours with a clean, dry finish. It’s a simple, honest wine made for those who enjoy a touch of sweetness without heaviness or richness.
