Immerse yourself in the rich history and captivating complexity of Portugal's fortified wine tradition with the Horacio Simoes Moscatel Roxo de Setubal NV. Crafted from the rare Moscatel Roxo grape, this single-harvest gem underwent a unique winemaking journey. Following three days of skin contact fermentation, it matured gracefully for nine years in used French oak barrels, resulting in a symphony of flavors that unfold with every sip.
Celebrated wine critic Jancis Robinson awarded this Moscatel Roxo 17.5 points, praising its "seductively rich and sweet aroma of bitter orange and caramelised apricot" and "gorgeously sweet honeyed apricots" balanced by a "fresh, intense, and delicious" character. Experience the lingering finish and "chewy, compact texture" that elevate this wine to an unforgettable sensory experience.
Hailing from the esteemed Sociedade Vinícola de Palmela, known for its legacy of producing exceptional Moscatel wines, this bottle represents a piece of Portuguese heritage. The Horácio Simões Agricultural House, with its dedication to artisanal and traditional winemaking practices, ensures each sip reflects the passion and expertise that have defined their wines since 1910.
