Elaboration

The grape variety Moscatel de Alejandría is grown in the sun-struck area Axarquía (eastern part of Málaga), a mountainous region with impressive rugged hills on soils covered with decomposing shale. The climate is warm and dry. The grapes are picked manually and kept in crates. Grape juice ferments in stainless steel tanks equipped with temperature control. A natural alcoholic degree of over 10 degrees is obtained from the partial fermentation of the must, before its fortification up to 15 % vol. Fortification is the process of adding wine alcohol to the partially fermented must to stop its alcoholic fermentation. This way, part of the sugar is not fermented.

Maturing and aging:

None

Analytical characteristics:

15 % vol. Residual sugar: 130 gr/l.

Organoleptic characteristics:

Pale yellow with touches of green, brilliantly clear and very lively in the glass. The aroma is characterized by its olfactory intensity; its fragrances of pineapple, papaya, the scent of dried figs, cake and balsamic notes make it a complex and seductive wine. The mouth feel offers a good quality and well-balanced acidity, suggestive from the start to the very end. Lasting and qualitative aftertaste.

How to serve:

Serve between 8 and 10º C.

Elaboration:

Hand-picked grapes are dried by the system of “asoleo”. This is the traditional method which consists in laying clusters by hand at the ‘paseros’ to dry the grapes for several days. Grapes dehydrate until the desired concentration of sugar. The loss in weight in this process is approximately 50 %. Sun-dried grapes are picked up into boxes again and there is a further selection of clusters. Grape juice ferments in stainless steel tanks until it reaches 13 % vol. This process is interrupted lowering the temperature of the wine.

Maturing and aging:

None

Analytical characteristics:

13 % vol. Residual sugar: 160 gr/l.

Organoleptic characteristics:

Attractive golden color. Very complex, white flowers, honey, quince, tropical fruit and minerals. Fresh in the palate, powerful, fruity and mineral. Balanced, long and pleasant.

Elaboration:

The grape variety Moscatel de Alejandría is grown in the sun-struck area of Axarquía (eastern part of Málaga), a mountainous region with impressive rugged hills on soils covered with decomposing shale.

Once the desired sugar concentration is reached, the partially dried grapes are taken into the winery for its pressing. A traditional basket press is used to obtain a must rich in sugars. Then, the must will ferment very slowly in stainless steel tanks equipped with temperature control, until it reaches an alcohol level of 1 or 2 degrees, before its fortification.
