BROWN BROS ZIBIBBO

Brown Bros Zibibbo

$17.40 750 MLS
Brown Brothers arguably are the Muscat table wine specialists of Australia and have a mind-boggling array of styles from the variety, well-recognised labels being the ‘Lexia’ and ‘Orange Muscat’ – blended with Flora. We have extolled the sheer drinkability of the Brown Brothers Moscato, an interpretation of the artisanal Moscato d’Asti style of north-east Italy, at the beginning of summer. The Zibibbo is Brown Brothers’ take on Asti Spumante and an excellent one at that. Zibibbo is a synonym for the Muscat of Alexandria grape, and this wine was tank fermented and bottled soon after secondary fermentation to capture as much of the fruitiness of the grape as possible. The wine is a mere 6.0% alc and carries 99 g/l residual sugar balanced by 5.9g/l acidity with a pH of 3.1. Pale coloured with a very fine mousse, the bouquet is classic and fully expressive Muscat with its grape, herb and tea-leaf aromas. The wine is sweet, yet the sugar is kept beautifully in check by the fine acidity and a degree of built-in restraint. The wine carries a gorgeous creamy texture and finishes with raisin and herb nuances. The dryish finish is very pleasing.  RC Jan 10

Brown Brothers Zibibbo Sparkling NV (17.5+/20) a tank fermented wine to 6.5% alc and 99 g/l rs. Pale with a fine mousse, this showed classic grape and herb aromatics and flavours on a creamy textured palate with raisiny and herb notes. Medium length and good drying finish completed the wine.  RC/SD Sept 09
