Moscatel Cadão Fortificado

Description

Moscatel Cadão is a Moscatel from the Douro, Portugal, produced by Cadão. The winemaking is signed by António J. Bastos. It is made from the Moscatel Galego Branco grape variety. Winemaking of Moscatel Cadão: Manual harvest, highly selective, with optimal ripeness criteria. Skin maceration and alcoholic fermentation with temperature control in stainless steel vats. The alcoholic fermentation is halted by adding a special grape spirit to preserve the sweetness of the must. It presents a golden colour. Aromas of candied fruit, orange peel and compote. On the palate, very elegant yet concentrated. Smooth, sweet and persistent. Pairs well with a simple, fresh appetiser or in a cocktail. Serve at 8–10 °C. At 17% vol., it is presented in a 0.75 L bottle. Serve slightly chilled, in a Port or white wine glass, to enhance the aromas of dried fruit and caramel. Pairs perfectly 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.
