Moscatel Favaios Commemorative Edition 70 Years
Moscatel 70 Years from Adega Cooperativa de Favaios, created from the best seven harvests since its foundation, one per decade (1964, 1975, 1980, 1999, 2007, 2011 and 2020), is a hymn to the art of blending wines and also to the true muscat of the Douro. The Moscatel Galego variety, unlike the Moscatel de Setúbal, found in the freshness of the altitude (between 550 and 600 meters) and in the fertile soils of the Favaios-Alijó plateau the perfect place to express all its aromatic richness and acidic freshness. Unlike other fortified wines, the great Muscat wines, the most durable, are often born from grapes tending to be green rather than ripe. A sublimation of some fresh lychee, dried fruit, candied orange, honey, glycerine, spices and life-giving acidity. All in a harmonious dose, far from the syrupy muscat profile, too sweet and concentrated, and the thin and uncomplex muscat type. It's so good that, even when the glass is emptied, there's a delicious perfume left that makes you want to sip.
