Ranging from chestnut to an intense mahogany in colour, with a pronounced density and tearing. The characteristic varietal notes of muscatel grapes stand out in the nose with the presence of the floral aromas of jasmine, orange blossom and honey suckle in addition to citric notes of lime and grapefruit and other hints of sweetness.
It has a restrainedly sweet palate with predominate varietal and floral notes leading to a slightly dry, bitter finish.
Moscatel wine is obtained from grapes of the same name which undergo a process known as "sunning" until the grapes turn into raisins. Musts are obtained after pressing which possess extraordinary high levels of sugar and a certain degree of colouring and which are then submitted to partial alcoholic fermentation, later detained by the addition of wine alcohol.
Its ageing process is exclusively oxidative in nature, favouring a progressive concentration of aromas and increasing complexity, though always ensuring not to lose the freshness and fruity character of the grape variety.
