New HK Wines from Jacob's Creek 

Australian wine maker Jacob's Creek has recently expanded its offerings in Hong Kong by introducing two lines: Sparkling Moscato and the Regional Reserve collection. The new Moscato Sparkling and Moscato Sparkling Rosé although only just available in Hong Kong has already won a host of awards at wine shows throughout Australia. These light, sweet wines use Muscat grapes that are picked cool in the night, and fermented in separate batches. The result is two bottles, each with fruity aromas; a delicate, sweet taste; and a complexity that gives the wines a long, drawn-out finish on the tongue. These wines will be available exclusively in Wellcome. 

The new Reserve wines are expressed through both regional and varietal differences, making them truly unique bottles with depth, complexity and individual personalities.
