Moscatel Dsf Armagnac 2007 Fortificado

Description

**Moscatel Dsf Armagnac** is a Moscatel from the Setúbal Peninsula, Portugal, produced by José Maria da Fonseca. The winemaking is signed by Domingos Soares Franco. It is made from the Moscatel de Setúbal grape variety. Vintage 2007. Domingos Soares Franco decided it was time to evolve the Moscatel de Setúbal. He began five years of trials in which, using grapes from the same vineyard, he made wine with four different types of aguardente: a neutral one, one from the Cognac region, one from the Armagnac region, and a fourth blend with 50% of the latter. After five years of tasting, the Armagnac version prevailed for its subtlety, freshness, complexity and harmony. It shows an amber colour with red hints. On the nose, walnut skin, orange zest, florals (petunias), honey and some caramel. On the palate, fruity with dried fruit notes, very smooth and soft, with present but balanced acidity. It pairs well with convent sweets, orange tart and blue cheeses. Serve at 10–16 °C. At 17.5% vol., it comes in a 0.75 L bottle. Rating: Revista de Vinhos 17.5/20. Serve slightly chilled, in a Port or white wine glass, to enhance the aromas of dried fruit and caramel. It pairs perfectly with almond desserts, convent sweets, crème brûlée and cured 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.
