Moscatel Secret Spot 10 Anos

Manual harvest. Fermentation of grapes in a foot-treading mill. Dehydration of skins, subsequently macerated in wine brandy. Post-fermentative maceration of the doughs together with wine brandy. Pressing and later stage in old wood casks. The first Moscatel from the Douro to have this age designation. The wine results from several batches of muscatel, all of which come from our Quinta da Faísca, which have aged in used wooden casks. The youngest of these was 73 years old.

This Moscatel de Setúbal has a young and fruity style, with topaz color, aromas and intense flavors of muscatel, orange blossom, citrus fruits, orange peel, candied fruit, tea and raisins. In the mouth is full-bodied, the aroma is intense and enhanced being coupled with sensations of sweet bitter, having a very long and persistent finish. 12 months in half used oak barrels. Contains sulfites.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Quinta do Piloto reserved 10 small 50 liter barrels for itself, which it filled with the finest muscat from its properties. Since then, this muscat has been kept in the shadow of the Quinta do Piloto winery, reserved only for the family. Year after year, four generations followed the ritual of filling each barrel with the best of each harvest. This is how this precious and rare muscat was born, which proves a century of dedication by a historic family in Palmela. Contains sulfites.
