Bacalhôa Moscatel de Setúbal Superior 10 Years is a richly expressive dessert wine made exclusively from Moscatel de Setúbal grapes grown on the slopes of Serra da Arrábida in the Setúbal Peninsula. Fermentation is briefly carried out with the skins before being halted by the addition of grape spirit, after which the wine undergoes an extended winter maceration and ages in small oak barrels under significant temperature variation, enhancing its concentration and complexity.
It shows a deep topaz-gold color and an aromatic profile dominated by orange blossom, candied citrus peel, bitter-orange marmalade, raisins, dried figs and subtle nutty notes. On the palate it is full, sweet and velvety, balanced by fresh acidity and a long, layered finish that interweaves sweet, tangy and lightly bitter elements.
This 10-year expression is best served slightly chilled, either as a refined aperitif or digestif, or paired with dark chocolate, mature cheeses or rich desserts.
