Salt of the Earth 2023 Moscato Rubino Madera, California

Salt of the Earth’s 2023 Moscato Rubino leans into its own sweetness—but doesn’t stop there. It greets you with vibrant strawberry and black cherry, followed by a whisper of tangy citrus and a fresh spritz that keeps things lively, not heavy. The effect is immediate, compelling, and just sweet enough.

This isn’t a wine built to deepen—it’s built for company. Made from Black Muscat and Muscat Canelli berries grown in Madera’s warm San Joaquin Valley, it fits California’s bright, ripe expression of muscat perfectly. The slight fizz perks up every sip, keeping it playful and light. 

What’s compelling is how it balances sugar with structure. Bright acids give it a snap at the finish, preventing the sweetness from slipping into cloying territory. Its medium weight carries flavor without dragging—calling for more without asking for commitment. 

Behind it all is Salt of the Earth’s intention to deliver accessible, honest moscatos built for sharing. The Prosperi family’s decades in the valley yield grapes that hang heavy with sugar, turned into wines that feel abundant but not indulgent. 

This is a “but bring a good story too” kind of wine—ideal for chilled glasses at cookouts, beside BBQ with sweet sauces, or even paired with berry desserts. It doesn’t need gravity to be memorable; it’s perfectly content being the one everyone keeps refilling.
