Description
The Muscat grape comes in many specific types and in several styles. Moscato, the low-alcohol, slightly sweet style is very popular, but this Spanish version shows a very different face. Grown in southern Spain's Jumilla region, Muscatel (as it is known locally) also produces wonderful dry wines. At a still very friendly 13% alcohol, the wine shows typical fruit and floral aromas. Fruit is certainly at the forefront of the flavors, but the lightly spicy notes accent a fresh, dry finish.
