"Light and sweet, with pretty pear, floral and spice aromas and flavors, lingering delicately. Drink now."

Harvey Steiman, Wine Spectator, November 2010

85 points
"The nose offers up just a bit of intrigue, with gardenia, musk and white rose scents, but the focus of this wine is really the core of baked apricot flavors that turn just a bit jammy on the finish. Sweet, but not out of balance, good as a summer aperitif."

Joe Czerwinski, Wine Enthusiast (USA), December 2009

Bloody Good
"This is beautifully packaged and has the quality to match. It’s intensely grapey, has powerful sweet flavours yet finishes crisp and fresh to cleanse the palate and prevent any suggestion that it’s cloying."

Peter Forrestal, Quaff 2010, October 2009

"A very attractive moscato style that is fragrant and shows vibrant sweet grape and rose-petal flavours with refreshing crisp acidity to prevent its sweetness from becoming cloying."

Peter Forrestal, Quaff, December 2008

"This light, frothy wine has a penetrating, very grapey muscatel aroma that's deliciously sweet and juicy. The sweet palate is smooth and light, yet it has real impact, and a succulent grape-juicy finish, will keep you coming back for more."

Ralph Kyte-Powell, The Age, July 2008

"If you're after something that's frothy and fun to pour over your strawberries this summer, this grapey, low-alcohol Muscat from Australia is just the job. Think of it as an Aussie riffon Asti Spumante."

Tim Atkin, Observer (UK), May 2008

"This is a fragrant, fruity fizz with aromas of grapes and peaches. It has lots of flavour on the palate, with creamy bubbles and a sweet, grapey finish. Match it with celery sticks and dip."

Sally Gudgeon, Sun Herald, March 2008

“Get the celebration started with De Bortoli’s new range of sparkling wines, Emeri. With two light, fruity flavours to choose from, Emeri Bianco and Emeri Pink Moscato, they’re perfect for any occasion. Available at all good bottleshops."

, OK Magazine, January 2008


"Bright, fresh aromas with a perfumed edge to the pretty, lemony fruits. Lots of rose petal and sweet fruity flavours evolve in the mouth, with some similarity in style to Asti Spumante."

, Winestate, Sparkling Non-Vintage, November 2007

"Lovely rose petal bouquet. Very sweet moscato/spumante-style palate but has the acid to balance it out."

, Winestate, New Releases, Sparkling Wines, November 2007

“De Bortoli has the happy knack of over delivering on quality. This terrific fizz is a case in point, bursting with vibrant citrus and stonefruit flavours, zingy acidity, fine bubbles and a dry finish.”

Kerry Skinner, Illawarra Mercury, November 2007

"A light, fruity moscato style wine with fresh, 'grapey' characters and a light, zingy acid. It's low in alcohol and is lovely with fresh fruits on a warm afternoon."

, West Australian, November 2007

"Bubbles, bubbles and more bubbles. The first sip of this sparkling wine will have the tastebuds dancing with masses of fine bubbles leading the way to a very sweet flavour profile. The effervescent characters continue and a light mouthfeel with the ever-present sugary tastes balanced by neutral acid."

Phillip Stubbs and Rebecca Tucker, Geelong Advertiser, September 2007
