History
We have reserved part of our best Moscatel of 2014 harvest in five barrels of 225 litres, where, for decades they have aged fortified wines from the north of the country. Every 5 years a barrel will be opened and bottled. The intent is to release 5 editions of this Moscatel, each one with more 5 years of aging than its predecessor. 1st Edition - Moscatel de Setúbal Superior 5 years

Winemaker Notes
5-year-old dark topaz muscat with golden highlights, with aromas of figs, honey, raisins, dried fruits and spices. On the palate confirms the aromas with a balanced sweetness, well creased acidity and a smooth and velvety texture. Persistent aftertaste.
