Product details
Winemaking:
Setúbal Roxo 20 Year Old, exquisite dessert wine produced in Portugal on the Setúbal Peninsula, a region south of Lisbon which was recognised as a D.O.C. in 1907. This grape variety is almost extinct, existing only in a small vineyard in Azeitão. This is a purple grape variety, with an intense spicy aroma and a very concentrated and fruity palate. This wine is a blend of 4 vintages, where the youngest wine is 23 years old and, the oldest, 80 years old. Ageing takes place in used oak, since the truly important result is oxidation and not the oak aroma. Fermentation stops after brandy is added. Skin contact for 5 months. Ageing in used oak to increase the process of oxidation. No bottle ageing is required due to its oxidative stage.

95 points·JMF Moscatel Roxo 20 years Muscat
expand_moreFull red/brown colour. Dense and firm with a savoury nose showing lovely old cask complexity. Warm, earthy and spicy with savouriness as well as sweetness. The palate is complex and lively, with sweet earthy notes and lovely casky depth. Brilliant acidity here: so intense and vital with a long finish. A complex, brooding wine of real intensity.
