Adventures in Spanish Wine
Moscatel
Primitivo Quiles Moscatel
I stopped off to pick up something to drink with chocolate cake at home and found this little gem. There's not much info on the bottle, not even a region other than "Produce of Spain" or a vintage, but that didn't stop me.
A goldern hay colour with a nose of rasins mixed with orange peel. A little bit funky, but rich in the mouth with a good acid level to balance out the sweetness. Tart oranges and rasins make up the bulk of the flavours in the mouth, there is a bit of heat and dark tea on the finish. For 15 bucks it is good value. 86 Pts.

Yes, I have a problem. It didn’t taste like pez thankfully…
I know this was a while ago Dave, but did you happen to note the importer of this wine?
Yep, Spanish Acquisition are the importers.
