Elaboration: The Muscat of Small Grain grapes come from the El Bosque estate. Harvesting is done at night. Ochoa Moscatel is a wine where the winery is always reinventing itself and each vintage is different. In warmer years, its honeyed, floral aroma and great aromatic potential stand out. However, in cooler years, the memory of tropical fruits, white flowers, and lively acidity stands out. The harvest is done in the early morning; a selection of slightly raisined grapes arrives at the winery where they will be pressed without oxygen contact to preserve the aromatic potential of the variety.
Pairing: Suitable for accompanying desserts, cheeses, foie gras, or making cocktails.
