Moscatel de La Marina · 2025
Moscatel De La Marina is made according to the traditional method of fortifying the must with wine alcohol, using the latest technological advances in winemaking to make the most of the grape's potential. This comes across as a different Muscatel, luscious and very likeable, with a generous aftertaste and decidedly delicate. A clean, transparent yellow colour with greenish glints, the wine exhibits hints of orange blossom honey on the nose, with aromas of oranges and mandarins, as well as balsamic and mint notes. Light, unctuous and oily on the palate, it shows a perfect balance between acidity and sugar. There has been no oak ageing.

About the vineyard[+]
Located in the most southerly area of the Community of Valencia, the Alicante DO is divided into two sub-zones: La Marina, which stretches as far as the Cabo de la Nao headland, and Alicante, which encircles the city and includes the River Vinalopó valley. They both enjoy a decidedly Mediterranean climate. Historically, the region had become famous in the past for the internationally acclaimed Fondillón, a type of rancio wine made from over-ripened Monastrell grapes aged for a long period of time. This wine had become a firm favourite with royalty and nobility for centuries. Although more recently foreign grape varieties have been introduced, the fresh, fruity white wines made from the Moscatel grapes of the La Marina area are of particular note, along with the reds produced from this Levant region's traditional grape, the Monastrell, which provides meaty, well-structured wines.
