Very unusual blend of 90% Moscatel de Alejandría (Muscat of Alexandria) and 10% Pedro Ximénez - varieties traditionally used for dessert wines. Fruit is sourced from vineyards on poor slate and schist (filitas and lutitas) soils at over 3,000 ft altitude in the Axarquía, a rugged, mountainous region in southern Spain known for its breathtaking steep slope-vineyards, some up to 70% (which also lend their name to the winery, vertical vineyards). After a 24-hour maceration with its skins, the Muscat was fermented in very old 3,300-liter foudres purchased from Brandy-producer Larios while the Pedro Ximénez was aged in 600-liter barrels. Aged for 10 months in foudre. Somewhere between a generoso and a white wine, the wine is savory, complex and mineral, with aromas of dry herbs, almonds, hints of Brandy and long, salty finish.

Apricot, sugar cane, oxidized. Bordering on desert wine in weight and texture.
