Ermelinda Freitas Superior Muscat Liquorous Wine 2000 - Peninsula Setubal - 500ml

Produced in the Peninsula de Setubal with the Moscatel de Setubal grape variety.

Winemaking: The more traditional winemaking methods are followed involving a short fermentation period in contact with the skins which is then interrupted by the addition of quality grape alcohol. The wine macerates until the end of winter (5 to 6 months) to allow full extraction of flavour and aroma. It is then transferred into vats and the masses pressed.

Ageing: 8 years of barrel maturation in 200-litre oak wood casks in a carefully monitored environment. These casks will have been previously used in the ageing of malt whisky.

Aroma and intense flavours of orange blossom citrus bitter orange marmalade raisins figs and nuts a full palate and excellent balance between sweetness and acidity. Other flavours to be found are marmalade Earl Grey tea currants dried apricots figs rancidity and nuts.
