Provenance: Andalousia

Grape variety(ies): Malaga Moscatel. Son origine remonte à l'arrivée des Phéniciens sur la côte vers le VIIème siècle av. J-C. Dans les montagnes de la région Axarquia, il atteint une qualité inégalée. Bien qu'il soit traditionnellement utilisé pour faire des vins doux, ici il est fermenté sec.
On-call time: 15 years
Style of wine: Vin de méditation

Or 'the side that faces the mountain'. 3,665 bottles are produced by Victoria Ordóñez, who demonstrates her talent as a winemaker and precursor here, as this is the first Malaga of the modern era made from moscatel and aged in wood. Pale yellow in colour with hints of gold, it has a wonderful nose of orange blossom and tangerine, which precedes a sensational palate of tension and salinity. Long ageing is to be expected!

Technique

Viticulture

This wine comes from two plots of 0.64 and 1.04 ha planted in 1932, in the Upper Axarquía region, at an altitude of 800 m. on a 68% slope. Yields are less than 2'000 kg/ha. Axarquia is located to the east of Malaga. Its metamorphic soils are made up of schist, interspersed with white quartz, with very little organic content.

Oenology

The mild local climate is conditioned by the influence of the Mediterranean to the south and the mountainous barrier of Tejeda and Almijara Sierras to the north, which protects it from cold winds. Grapes are hand-picked in 9 kg crates, using mules. Fermented and aged in new French oak barrels for 10 months. Kept for four months in bottle before release.
