Moscatel sweet natural

The grape variety Moscatel de Alejandría is grown in the sun-struck area Axarquía (eastern part of Málaga), a mountainous region with impressive rugged hills on soils covered with decomposing shale. The climate is warm and dry. The grapes are picked manually and kept in crates. Grape juice ferments in stainless steel tanks equipped with temperature control. A natural alcoholic degree of over 10 degrees is obtained from the partial fermentation of the must, before its fortification up to 15 % vol. Fortification is the process of adding wine alcohol to the partially fermented must to stop its alcoholic fermentation. This way, part of the sugar is not fermented.
