Torres Floralis Moscatel Oro from Penedès
With Floralis Moscatel Oro, Familia Torres produces a dessert wine that owes its appeal primarily to its aroma and smoothness. Moscatel de Alejandria is a distinctly fragrant grape that gives this Spanish wine from Penedès its recognizable floral character.
The Story of the Vintage
Moscatel de Alejandría is an ancient, aromatic grape variety that has been cultivated around the Mediterranean for centuries. In Spain, sweet Moscatel has its own place alongside dry table wines and sherry. Floralis showcases this tradition in a wine where the grape itself remains clearly recognizable, with fragrant, floral notes.
Tasting Experience
Flowers, orange peel, and dried fruit create a rich interplay of aromas. Honey-like nuances complement the sweet profile, while a pleasant, fresh undertone prevents the overall aroma from becoming too heavy. Pour small amounts to slowly discover the various aromas.
Serving
This Moscatel pairs beautifully with almond pastries, fruit desserts, or blue cheese. Serve chilled, but not ice-cold, so that the aroma can fully develop. For Port enthusiasts, it offers an interesting introduction to another tradition of sweet, fortified wine from the Iberian Peninsula.
Floralis is part of the long tradition of sweet Mediterranean Moscatel. The Moscatel de Alejandría grape is known for its strikingly aromatic character, which often makes floral and citrus notes recognizable right from the aroma. Unlike a wine that relies primarily on tannins, the experience here revolves around aroma, sweetness, and balance. That is precisely why Floralis is also appealing to enthusiasts who normally choose Port with dessert.
