Post by goncalo devesas »

1999 Moscatel roxo - Quinta da Bacalhoa, when speaking about portuguese fortified wines, there are 3 regions that immediately comes to the mind of all, the Douro valley ; Madeira and Setubal for Moscatel.

The Moscatel Roxo from Quinta da Bacalhoa planting in the slopes of Arrabida mountain range, in the demarcated region of Setubal, 100% moscatel roxo.

Harvested in august 1999, ageing process in 180 lts american oak vats, that comes from single malt wisky aged in Scotland.

Golden colour

Rich and intense aroma, complex (honey, peach, roses)

On the palate: apricot, orange shell, currants, refreshing and with a enormous delayed aftertaste. :yumyum: :yumyum:
