soils. Then, in the cellar, the wine will macerate with their skins
for 3 months after aborting the alcoholic fermentation with brandy.
And in the cellar the used barrels will be filled with said wine so
that the wood does not eclipse the fruit.
Visually very shiny, amber color with coppery reflections as a result of oxidation during the maturing in used barrels. Dense tears that is logical given its alcoholic richness. Very intense and complex in nose that is the Muscat guarantee: floral, honey of flowers, white fruit of candied bone .... After orange peel and roasted peach touches are added. A powerful, and sweet entry in mouth. Dense, broad, fleshy and explosive development. An alcoholic sensation very well integrated. Ripe lemon notes puts the freshness on a smoky background. A long, sweet and liquoruous (17.5 % vol.) finish, and goodbye with crème brûlée notes.

Jose
María da Fonseca winery begins to winemaking in 1834, just with the
Constitutional Monarchy arrival in Portugal after a civil war between
liberals and absolutists. This winery has provided many Portuguese
generations with a good Setubal's Moscatel and with a very positive
price such as its current $ 7'74
+-.
The recommended service temperature is 11ºC
to control the alcohol sensations. As a pairing, look for the
traditional Portuguese dessert such as a Toucinho
do Céu (egg-based sponge-cake from the
north of Portugal), a Tigeleda
(burnt-cream of the Beira region) or a Coimbra's Queijadas
(another Beiras dessert, but this one from Beira coast).
