Description

About This Wine: 
This bottling is made up of 100% Muscat of Alexandria from multiple old mountainside vineyards located in the Valley of the Lagares, Almáchar, of the Málaga DO where the inclinations are up to 70°. The dry-farmed, hand-harvested vines were planted between 1960 and 1980 upon beds of solid slate rock and decomposed slate with a small percentage of white quartz. After a manual harvest, the fruit sees primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks using wild yeast. Secondary fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks following the Charmat method of sparkling wine production. 

90 points - Vinous Media:

"Pale yellow. Peach nectar, poached pear and honey aromas are sharpened by a hint of lime zest. Fleshy, seamless and gently sweet, offering juicy melon, pit fruit favors. A touch of honeysuckle builds as the wine opens up. The sappy, penetrating finish shows very good energy, building spiciness and repeating florality. (sourced from vineyards that were planted in 1950 and 1960)" - Josh Raynolds (April 2019)
