Excellent blend of 95% sav blanc 5% muscatel, dry with a bit nice richness and pure varietal intensity. — 4 years ago

Golden in color. Rich baked apple and orchard fruits. Savory honey, hints of herbs and a slight spicey character. Great weight and balance. Absolutely delicious — 5 years ago

I've been digging the natural wines recently. This one: tart, muscatel grape seeds and skins. It pretends like it's going to finish dry, then boomerangs you with gentle fruit. — 9 years ago

Another sweet muscatel from Malaga but thinner and a bit more complex in flavor than the Ordonez, in my opinion. — 9 years ago

Incredible wine! So tasty (yes, that's the word!), even for a Galician Muscatel. No clue how much it costs, but anything up to €12 would be more than acceptable. — 9 years ago

This has always been a go to cheap Riesling, but for the 2018 vintage they made an even Riesling / Muscatel split. It’s so much better than I expected, and for under $15 worth stocking up on. — 5 years ago

Nose has summer roses, cut cherries, mashed raspberry, stainless steel, minor flint, blood orange peel and dried rose; additional development with each swirl & sniff.

Palate has dried raspberry, dried orange peel, warm green herbs, dehydrated peach, mild tannins (wow), lengthy finish with minor dehydrated tart cherry. Such an experience with a barrel aged rosé!

Future bottles on 2018 should be held until 2026+

Grenache 45% / Mourvèdre 30% / Cinsaut 5% / 20% Field Blend including Syrah, Castet, Manosquin, Carignan & various Muscatel

Bottle No. 057148 | Lot 0603
Decanted 4h. I will endeavour to follow the development of this bottle over the coming days.

24 Hour Update: Fresh raspberry most prominent today on the nose. Palate is showing raspberry jam with minor leather notes.

48 Hour Update: Fresh & dried raspberry, fresh rose, bowl of fresh cherries, moist cedar plank and dry sandstone on the nose. Palate is showing dried strawberry, dried raspberry, minor green herbs, dried orange peel and minor dried cherry. This bottle looks to finally unknitting towards its greater self.

72 Hour Update: See 48 Hour notes, plateaued to a good spot still. Enough wine left for one more update.

192 Hour Update: Nose has cranberry jelly, ripe raspberry, warmed cherries, fresh cranberry and dried orange peel. Palate has raspberry juice, freshly juiced cherry, cranberry juice cut with water, dried orange and minor dried herbs. Still doing great, on day eight. Final update. — 5 years ago

I managed to shock an entire panel of very classical sommeliers with this Chilean oddity. A exuberantly aromatic, super cloudy, unfiltered, slightly fizzy blend of Muscat de Alexandria, Torontel and "Corinto" (local name for Chasselas). Like it or not winemaker Manuel Moraga (from a veritable wine dynasty) is delivering the traditional/real/old style Chileans. This is the type of wine that my grandfather, renowned local drunk, had with friends and family, particularly during our national holidays in September when the country goes into a drunken stupor. Forget Carmenères, Almavivas and Chadwicks I'm sorry. If you really want to go local while in Chile you got to try Itata, Yumbel, Guarilihue. That's where you'll find our true soul. BTW I got this one in NYC while shopping around Union Sq, how's that for contradiction!

Love this blend. Aromatic, dry with just a touch of sugar from the muscatel — 9 years ago
