Reviews:

“This Moscatel Wine has flavors that are reminiscent of the Moscatels from Setubal. It’s a rich wine that shows a hint of the spirit element, but the ripe flavors of toffee and raisin ice cream are more prominent. Drink now.” 88 pts – Roger Voss 21112012

About the grapes:

Moscatel Roxo (roxo means purple in Portuguese). The wines produced with this grape varietal present an elevated level of sweetness; they are very aromatic and persistent in flavor.

Its clusters are small and compact, with round, pinkish berries that have an extreme sweetness. This grape varietal, like the Moscatel de Setúbal, has a rich aromatic profile and contributes unequivocally to the aroma and flavor of the wine it produces.

Compared with other wines of the Moscatel grape variety, this fortified wine has a drier and more complex aroma but no less rich.

When tasting, it exceeds expectations created by the aroma palate, displaying a very fine highlight of spices, cherries and fig compote.

Harvest

Selective and manual Harvest in 20 kg boxes. Total stripping followed by bleeding with spontaneous fermentation at 12ºC in order to keep all the aromatic potential.

The Vineyards

The vineyards are planted in deep soil of schist origin and clay-limestone, dry on the surface and rich in water the transition to the underground. Equipped with drop-by-drop irrigation, to control the level of water stress, the vineyards have driven systems that guarantee sun exposure and aeration necessary for more balanced maturation and high quality grapes based on a selection of the best regional, national and International grapes varieties.
