expand_moreThe NV Moscatel de Setúbal was aged for 24 months in used oak, a mixture of French and American. It comes in with 162 grams per liter of residual sugar. This is a pretty straightforward entry-level Moscatel, but its style makes it very enchanting. Avoiding heavy brandy nuances, it has a lighter, fresh feel and delicious fruit and sugar dribbling over the palate. It seems very lively for a fortified wine.
