Horácio Simões Excellent Moscatel Roxo
Moscatel Roxo is a dessert wine produced in the demarcated Setúbal region since 1907. Casa Agrícola Horácio Simões knew it was the right time to invest in this grape variety, which had become extinct in the region, and produce this nectar. It was Luís and Pedro's great-grandfather who preserved this variety.
Moscatel Roxo “Excellent” is the result of intense work over more than 100 years, split between the vineyard and the winery. The vineyard has been monitored and pampered for decades so that yields do not exceed 2500 liters/ha. In the winery, the vinification process was designed, different from the usual. The final stage takes place in a variety of wooden barrels, where they will concentrate for decades. Excellent Moscatel Roxo is the result of a blend of very special barrels that result in an impressive wine.
