Tasting Notes
The nose is enticing with subtle notes of rose and peppermint. This wine has a delicate palate with predominantly floral flavors and a refreshing finish.
Vineyards
The Quinta do Vallado Prima differs from typical Muscat due to its dryness. The grapes originate from three different parcels on the Quinta do Vallado estate. One parcel’s vines are over 50 years in age and the remaining two years are about 15 years in age.
Winemaking
The wine is fermented through a process of “Bica Aberta” (without skin contact). The fermentation lasted for one month at a temperature between 57-60°F.

Floral nose with white blossoms, melon, peaches and seashells. Supple, elegant and a tad saline on the palate, with a medium body and a round, salty finish. 100% moscatel galego branco. Drink now.
