Moscatel de Favaios
 Moscatel de Setúbal - 
 17% abv 
Moscatel de Setúbal, produced & bottled by José Maria da Fonseca, from the Moscatel de Setúbal grape & aged in oak barrels.
 
Aged in used oak as to impart less characteristics of the oak, yet keeping its softening effects on the wine. No ageing in bottle is necessary due to its natural occurring oxidation, meaning this wine will (if kept properly) last many months after opening, with no change in profile.
 
In the glass you can really see the beautiful colour of this amber nectar, with citrus, orange peel & ripe apricots on the nose. Followed on the palate by cinnamon, hints of dried fruit, a smooth roasted hazelnut, with a surprisingly persistent finish.
