Salt of the Earth 2023 Flore de Moscato, Madera, California

Salt of the Earth’s 2023 Flore de Moscato is instantly approachable, yet thoughtfully constructed. Aromas of peach blossom and citrus peel rise fresh, with white peach and apricot jam in the mix—and just enough honeyed raisin sweetness to linger. There’s a gentle spritz that keeps the profile lively, never heavy, even at its sweetest. 

This is Moscato that understands restraint. The body sits squarely in the sweet zone—medium-full—but balanced sharply by crisp acidity that keeps it buoyant and clean. The cool chill on the palate doesn’t mute flavor; it sharpens it. 

Part of what makes it work is context. Crafted from Orange Muscat and Muscat Canelli in Madera’s warm San Joaquin Valley, the fruit hangs ripe but benefits from long growing seasons and a light natural spritz. What you taste is sweetness handled with intention, not excess. 

There’s a candid sweetness here—fun, unforced, and easy to share. It doesn’t vie for your attention so much as it meets you halfway. Perfect for late summer evenings, barbecues, or a cheeky chilled glass after dessert—it’s a wine that invites company, not applause.

This is Moscato that leads with sincerity, never with bells and whistles.
