Raúl Moreno, La Pretensión, Jerez, Vino de Pasto, Andalucia, Spain 2022

Skin-macerated for three weeks and aged in Cognac barrels, this is a Moscatel like no other, with outstanding complexity and incredible aromatic detail. Oily unctuosity wraps the nectarine, red apple, kumquat, loquat and peach fruit, with jasmine and orange blossom hovering and nutmeg, lavender and cherry leaf lining the seams. Saline and mouthwatering. Pleasant lingering bitterness of orange pith and cherry pits.
