Cantocuerdas Moscatel 2015 – 50 Cl.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

The sweet 2015 Cantocuerdas Moscatel Dulce, produced with the grapes from one single vineyard planted some 45 years ago at 720 meters altitude on sandy granite soils close to a water stream where grapes ripen without over-ripeness. It achieved 15.4% alcohol and some 66 grams of unfermented sugar. It aged in used barrels for 15 months. The balsamic nose, redolent of bay leaf with something creamy that made me think that it was going to have something bitter, despite the notes of honey, orange blossom and Moscatel pulp and that minty note that adds freshness. The palate felt very balanced, with freshness to compensate the sugar, it feels like a very good year for this characterful sweet wine. 1,000 half-liter bottles produced.
