We're a team of dedicated Moscato enthusiasts based in Australia who believe that great wine education should be accessible to everyone—whether you're opening your first bottle of sweet wine or you're a seasoned sommelier exploring new varietals.
Our Story
Best Moscato Australia was born from a simple realisation: despite Moscato being one of the most approachable and beloved wine styles in the world, there was a surprising lack of quality, in-depth resources dedicated specifically to this wonderful grape variety. We found that most wine guides either glossed over Moscato as a "beginner's wine" or failed to capture the nuanced differences between a crisp Moscato d'Asti and a lusciously sweet fortified Muscat.
Our founding team first came together at a wine tasting event in Melbourne's Yarra Valley back in 2019. What started as a casual conversation about our shared appreciation for sweet wines turned into animated discussions about residual sugar levels, the differences between Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains and Muscat of Alexandria, and why Australian producers in regions like Rutherglen and King Valley were creating world-class Moscatos that deserved more recognition.
From those early conversations, we decided to create the resource we wished had existed when we first fell in love with Moscato. We wanted to build a platform that treats sweet wine with the same respect and depth that dry wines typically receive. Every article we publish undergoes rigorous research, and every wine we recommend has been personally tasted and evaluated by our team.
Today, Best Moscato Australia serves thousands of wine lovers across the country, helping them navigate the exciting world of sweet wines. From explaining the fermentation process that gives Moscato its signature low alcohol content to guiding readers through the perfect food pairings for a Pink Moscato, we're committed to making wine knowledge approachable without sacrificing depth or accuracy.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to be Australia's most trusted and comprehensive resource for Moscato wine education. We believe that understanding wine enhances the enjoyment of it, and we're dedicated to sharing our knowledge in a way that's engaging, accessible, and genuinely helpful.
We don't just write about wine—we live it. Our team regularly visits Australian vineyards, attends industry tastings, and stays current with the latest developments in sweet wine production. This hands-on approach ensures that every piece of content we create is grounded in real experience and genuine expertise.
