Nº1 Selección Especial

D.O. MALAGA

White, Naturally Sweet
Late Harvest
Variety: 100% Muscat Alexandria
Vinification: Fermentation in stainless steel
Alcohol: 13%
Temperature: 6ºC

Pale gold. Intense, with fresh notes of orange and of exotic spices, floral and musky. Powerful on the palate, embracing and warm, with a punch of minerality.

Special Selection comes from vineyards that are about 40 years old in the mountains of Axarquía, situated at an altitude of approximately 400 m. After the manual harvest, the grapes are brought to a selection table in the winery and, later, to the press. Fermentation is carried out completely in stainless steel tanks and, as is characteristic of this type of wine, the alcohol comes exclusively from grape fermentation; this is stopped by cooling once the desired alcohol content has been reached.

Selección Especial is an aperitif wine that
goes very well with savoury dishes such as
jamón serrano, caña de lomo and other cured
meats. And of course foie grás. Another
surprising pairing you may like to try is with
tangerines – really!
