Winemaking:
This special Moscatel de Setúbal was handled with extreme care during its production; the best lots were selected, being the result a wine with a deeper colour, with high complexity and volume in the mouth, keeping its elegance and softness which are the essence of this product. Setúbal Moscatel is a dessert wine produced in Portugal in the Setubal Península in the south of Lisbon, which was recognised as a D.O.C. in 1907. The vineyards are planted mainly in limestone and sandy soil. The type of climate is Mediterranean. As elsewhere, the microclimate has great influence. Here, it often creates nightly humidity and dew point coming from the Tagus River Basin during the late ripening stage of the grapes. This humidity plays an important role, in terms of moisture content, since it seldom rains during the summer. Fermentation stops when brandy is added; it has a skin contact of 5 months. Ageing in used oak. No ageing in bottle is necessary due to its oxidative stage.

16 points - Alambre Muscat 2010

Orange pie and in shell dominates on the floral notes, little complex but quite beautiful. In the mouth is all creamy, chunky, slippery and greedy with end of Orange and honey cake.

90 points - Alambre Muscat 2010

This is a wine that reveals the younger side of Moscatel in Setúbal. It shows honey, spice and perfumed fruitiness that contrast with the richness of the texture and its fresh peach and apricot flavors. Drink now for immediate enjoyment.

A fresh-tasting sweetie, with tightly wound flavors of butterscotch, dried apricot and mango. Offers a spicy finish, showing hints of dried pineapple and mocha. Drink now through 2025. 157,772 cases made.

93 pts Revista de Vinhos - Medium intensity lemon. It emphatically reveals the minerality of wet granite and the citrus and orange zest side of the variety on the nose. In the mouth, the acid-sapid structure is more tubular, and carries the scent of citrus and fresh herbs for a very good aftertaste.
