Vinification: Aged 18 months in oak barrels. Temperature: 6ºC. Brilliant golden color. Powerful and mature, with notes of nutmeg, peach jam and dried apricots together with undertones of hydrocarbons. Full-bodied, concentrated, very sweet, minerally, intense on retronasal, with nuances of minerals and candied fruit. Long finish with memories of citrus fruits. Old Vines is made with a selection of muscat vineyards that are from 80 to more than 100 years old, within the municipality of Almáchar. The harvest, which is manual, is carried out in the middle of August; after several manual selections, the bunches go through yet another selection before being pressed. Fermentation is carried out in French oak barrels. As is characteristic of this wine, its alcohol content is derived solely from the fermentation of the grapes; this is stopped by cooling once the desired level of alcohol is reached.
