People don’t believe me when I tell them that oneof my guilty pleasures in life is sitting down on aSunday afternoon with a cheese platter and a glass of
moscato.
Moscato is one of the most underrated and misunderstoodwines. Many consumers believe that moscato is nothingmore than alcoholic lemonade. This could not be furtherfrom the truth. There is a dierence in wine between sugarsweetness and fruit sweetness and great wines strive forfruit sweetness, moscatos are no exception.
This wine is made from muscat blanc or moscatel akamuscat of Alexandria grapes. The Romans are believed tohave given the grape its name as they found its distinctivearoma akin to that of musk, and hence called it moscato –smelling of musk. Viticultural experts have identied at least200 dierent members of the muscat family and several ofthese dierent clones have been cultivated in Australia foras long as grapes have been grown here.
Moscato has a surprising perfume-like fragrance, light-
body, semi-sparkling, spritzy character (frizzante), loweralcohol content (usually less than 10%) and a delightfulfruit-forward palate prole with a welcoming sweetfactor. The wines colour steers towards straw yellow withoccasional tinges of gold to pink moscatos where a splashof red wine has been used.
Moscatos aromatics are simply stunning – orange blossom,honeysuckle, almonds, ginger and ultra-expressive fruitdominated by green grapes, citrus tones and ripe peachnuances. On the palate, you can expect an impressiveline-up of fresh, forward fruit with sugar levels ranging fromsemi-sweet to sweet and a great level of acidity to balancethe palate.
From pear and apple, to orange and lime, with consistentappearances in the ripe, juicy peach and apricot category,moscatos avours are extraordinarily fruit-lled. The
delicate cascade of bubbles, light body and sweet surpriseculminate to woo and win many unsuspecting palates tothe wide world of wine.
This wine is also incredibly food friendly, my rst trueexperience with moscato was at a cheese and wine festivaland just about every cheese was paired with the wonderfulvariety, particularly medium to rm cheeses.
I love moscatos with all Asian cuisine because as thealcohol levels tend to be low and the sweetness tendsto be high it just balances the spicy and aromatic foodsperfectly. From antipasto and charcuterie platters, oystersand seafood through to all types of desserts, you shouldtry soaking strawberries in it. Is there any other wine thisversatile?
It’s little wonder that this variety is the one of the fastest
growing categories in the wine industry. Why don’t you givethis a go this Sunday?

Roasted Pork Loin with CracklingServes: 6-8
Cooking Time: 2 hours
INGREDIENTS
2kg pork loin roast2 tbsp oil1 tbsp sea salt
TO SERVE
1.5kg roasted vegetables (potatoes,pumpkin, carrots and parsnip)
200g baby peas600ml gravy200ml apple sauce
METHOD
1. Pre-heat your oven to 240°c.
2. Remove the pork loin roast from the packaging, taking note of the weight.
3. Using a small sharp knife, score the rind of the roast, making sure not to cut into the meat.
4. Place the roast onto a wire rack in the kitchen sink and pour over a jug of boiling water. Pat the rind dry with paper towel.
5. Rub the rind well with oil and sea salt massaging well into the scored areas.
6. Place the loin roast on the wire rack into a deep roasting pan and place the leg roast into the pre-heated oven for50 minutes. Do not open oven door during this period.
7. Reduce oven temperature to 180°c for the remaining cooking time, allowing 30-35 minutes per kg. This is also the idealtime to pop in the prepared vegetables for roasting.
8. Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven and allow it to rest in the roasting pan for 15 minutes prior to serving.
9. Slice the pork loin roast & serve with roasted vegetables, freshly cooked peas, gravy & apple sauce.
Note: If time allows, leave the scored roast uncovered in the fridge for 1 hour, or ideally overnight.This process further dries the rind and aids the crackling process.

henever browsing online forwhatever reason that maybe, from clothes to a new
ounge, the item online often doesn’took anything like it does in reality. Thesame can be said for burgers. Seeinga burger on social media pages theyook great and frequently beyondbelief. Though when face-to-face it’squite the anticlimax.
The experience I would suggest wouldbe similar to going on a Tinder datewith what you think is the person ofyour dreams yet in reality they look likea deflated, unpleasant, distant cousinto the one that was online.
On the contrary, the Bella Big Boylooked exactly how it would look ina magazine. A pin-up model of the
burger world, it also had the taste tomatch.
The burger comes with two house-ground patties as standard, which isalways a bonus in my books. Funnilyenough the patties matched the nameof the burger, the big boy had bigpatties. The patties were not only big,they were juicy and tasty. The othercontents on the burger consistedof smoked bacon, triple Americancheese, dill pickles, Spanish onion,tomato, lettuce, special Bella secretsauce, all on a toasted milk bun.
This burger was in no doubt abig boy, it was a picturesquemountain of burger. The milk
buns were great and the Spanishonions were a nice touch thatadded a diverse texture to theburger. The pickles were crunchy,fresh, and top off the burgernicely. The special sauce wasindeed special, adding a creamyand tangy element to the burger.
The Bella Big Boy burger is onethat is simple, yet effective. Theingredients work great togetherto create a well-rounded burgerthat’ll leave you satisfied. I givethe Bella Big Boy 3.5/5 stars.
