Casa Ermelinda Freitas
Moscatel de Setúbal
Setúbal, Península de Setúbal, Portugal
Last of five fun, fantastic, and frugal wines for everyday drinking, and I had to go with something odd; with a fortified wine from Portugal. And no, it’s not Porto, nor Madeira, but Moscatel de Setubal; a much lesser know surprising alternative. Impressive copper color and dense. The aromatics are full and rich with honey, caramel, orange peel, cinnamon, butterscotch, and marmalade. The pallet follows the nose with added notes of hard candy, syrup, and slight acidity. This wine is pure fun and joy. At under fifteen bucks a bottle, this is a “must try” for any sweet toothed wine lovers out here. Cheers.
