Bodega Manuel Aragon 'Los Cuatro' Moscatel, Andalucia, Spain

$32.00

This is a pre-order item expected to arrive mid-May 2025.

Vinification – Estate-grown overripe moscatel grapes are hand-picked in small baskets with great care to avoid oxidation, directly pressed, and then fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel at low temperature. The fermentation is then stopped before completion with the addition of a neutral grape spirit to 15% ABV, leaving the natural sweetness. The slow loss of water through the walls of the wooden casks facilitates the continuous process of concentration, which makes the wine gain in structure, smoothness and complexity. Manuel Aragón runs the scales in the traditional way, moving the wine through the solera manually, without mechanical pumps, utilizing gravity and the traditional tools of the canoa, jarra, sifón, and rocíador. It is cold stabilized and very lightly fined with bentonite before bottling.
