Portugal

Moscatel de Sétubal is unique, and along with Madeira is one of Portugal's greatest undiscovered fortified wines. Unlike Port, where a tawny labelled 20 years is an average of all components of the blend, here it signifies a minimum age. In this particular example, the youngest component is 23 years old and the oldest is from 1911! Grape spirit is added to stop fermentation at 187g/l of sugar, yet it is not cloyingly sweet because of the 7.5g/l of acidity. It has amazing complexity of caramelised oranges, nut brittle and fig paste, with incredible length. History and heritage in a glass.
