Moscatel Setubal Dona Ermelinda Roxo 2014 Fortificado

Description

Dona Ermelinda Moscatel de Setúbal Roxo is a Moscatel de Setúbal from Portugal, produced by Casa Dona Ermelinda. It is made from the Moscatel Roxo grape variety. Vintage 2014. Winemaking: Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation vessels until the density reaches 1080. This is followed by the addition of 96% wine spirit and an extended skin maceration until the following March. The wine aged for 10 years in half pipes of French and American oak. The wine shows a bright amber and golden colour. Aromas recall dried fruits such as hazelnut and almond, with some spices and a light, sweet floral note reminiscent of violets. On the palate it is harmonious, with an excellent balance between sweetness and freshness, and a long, lingering finish. It pairs well with convent sweets, orange tart and blue cheeses. Serve at 14 °C. At 17.5% vol., it is presented in a 0.75 L bottle. Serve slightly chilled in a port or white wine glass to highlight the dried fruit and caramel aromas. It is perfect with almond desserts, convent sweets, crème brûlée and aged cheeses, or simply with a good coffee. Store the bottle on its side, in a cool, dark place free from temperature fluctuations. Once opened, reseal the bottle and keep it in the refrigerator to preserve its aromas.
