Valdespino "Promesa" Moscatel - NV

Item # 49802 750 mL

The heart and soul of Valdespino are their vineyards. This Moscatel has some sweetness to it and is also aged in solera in American oak barrels. The color resembles that of a dark maple syrup. The palate is fresh, tangy, full of nuts and honey and citrus. Aromatic and delightful with a great plate of cheese.
