Moscatel Bacalhoa Roxo 20 Anos Fortificado

Description

Moscatel Bacalhoa Roxo 20 Anos is a Moscatel from Setúbal, Portugal, produced by Bacalhoa. The winemaking is overseen by Filipa Tomaz da Costa. It is made from the Moscatel Graúdo grape variety and is aged for 20 years. The Bacalhoa Roxo Moscatel has spent at least 20 years maturing in oak casks. It shows a dark amber colour with golden and greenish highlights. On the nose and palate it offers bitter orange marmalade, rancio, very old eau-de-vie, tea, dates, syrupy fig, hazelnut, honey and a touch of vinegar. The balance between sweetness, acidity and bitterness is remarkable, with a refreshing sensation on the palate. Smooth, extremely long and unique. It pairs well with convent sweets, orange tart and blue cheeses. Serve at 14–16 °C. At 20% vol., it comes in a 0.5 L bottle. Serve slightly chilled in a Port or white wine glass to enhance the aromas of dried fruit and caramel. It is perfect with almond desserts, convent sweets, crème brûlée and aged cheeses, or simply with a good coffee. Store the bottle lying down, in a cool, dark place without temperature variations. Once opened, reseal it and keep it in the refrigerator to preserve its aromas.
