The grapes are cooled to 40°F before pressing. After achieving about 12° alcohol the fermentation is stopped lowering the temperature. Residual sugar is 120 g/l. This wine shows our idea of Malaga wines with harmony between concentration and finesse and it shows the region of sun and mystique.

Because of the cru and the extreme selection we still have a very fresh Muscat flavor with a lot of exotic flavors and a very long taste.

Stainless steel fermented.

Production: 200 cases of 12 bottles for the U.S.
