Vinos del Viento, Amber, Muscat de Alexandria, Aragon, Spain, 2020
100% Muscat de Alexandria - 12% abv.
This wine is a showstopper. This is one of my favourite grapes and it is wonderful to see it captured so well in the Amber, this fantastic orange wine from Vinos del Viento. Aromatic with attractive lactic notes on the nose. Fruit salad, particularly melon and stone fruit, on the palate. This wine is an experience. Winemaker Micheal Cooper was born in California and has been living in Spain since 2002, and making wines since 2009. His vintages are hand-harvested, limited in production, high altitude wines, which are dry framed according to sustainable practises. His attention to detail and commitment to working with his environment with minimal impact, has created a small range of elegant wines with structure and big personalities.
Pale amber colour. The nose shows intense primary aromas of white flowers, lychee and quince. It is dry and refreshing on the palate, with fresh stone fruit citrus and Moscatel grape flavours with a persistent juicy and slightly sweet finish.

Viticulture: Top quality Moscatel de Alejandria grapes at 600 metres (2000ft.) above sea level, on poor clay calcareous rocky soil with lots of stones (canto rodado). The grapes were harvested at dawn and brought cold and fresh to the winery to preserve all of the aromatic intensity.

The spontaneous fermentation with the native yeasts took place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures. Matured on its skins for three months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered with less than 30mg/L total sulfites. A limited production of 5000 bottles
