Moscatel de Setúbal

Moscatel de Setúbal

D.O. Setúbal

A richly complex, golden-coloured wine, with aromas reminiscent of the honey and orange peel flavours traditional to this region. Full and sweet on the palate, revealing a good level of acidity that confers a certain freshness. A persistent, prolonged finish.
