✨ Technical Specifications
Yellow Tail Moscato is a vibrant, easy-drinking expression of the ancient Muscat grape, crafted in the accessible style that made this Australian brand a global phenomenon. Sourced from sun-drenched vineyards across South Eastern Australia, the grapes are harvested cool and fermented at low temperatures to preserve the intense floral aromas of orange blossom, jasmine, and fresh crushed grapes. To maintain its natural sweetness and delicate, lively spritz, the fermentation is stopped early, leaving a low-alcohol, delightfully sweet profile. This style pays homage to the Italian heritage of the Casella family, echoing the light, effervescent Moscato d'Asti of Piedmont but reimagined with the bold, fruit-forward sunshine of the Australian terroir.
🍾 About the Producer
Established as a family winery in 1969 by Sicilian immigrants Filippo and Maria Casella in Yenda, New South Wales, Casella Family Brands reshaped the global wine landscape in 2001 with the debut of [yellow tail]. Conceived by Managing Director John Casella, the brand disrupted traditional wine marketing through an unpretentious, fruit-forward ethos. Fruit is harvested extensively across the broad South Eastern Australia viticultural zone, drawing primarily from sun-drenched, warm inland riverine corridors like the Riverina and Riverland, defined by red sandy clay loams, hot continental summers, and canal irrigation. Modern, large-scale, temperature-controlled stainless steel vinification preserves direct varietal typicity, lively freshness, and soft, low-tannin profiles. Backed by full Sustainable Winegrowing Australia certification across winery sites and grower networks, [yellow tail] remains anchored by benchmark varietal bottlings including its vibrant Shiraz, approachable Cabernet Sauvignon, crisp Pinot Grigio, and aromatic Moscato.
