Bodega Murga, Ponte Mosca - 2023

Peru is the leader of cuisine in the South American continent. It’s about time that Bodegas Murga has put the country (specifically the Pisco Valley) on the world wine map. Since 2014, Bodegas Murga’s ambition has been make great wine from varietals that have been historically cultivated to distill Pisco, the national spirit. Murga farms organically and practices non interventionist methods in the cellar. The Ponte Mosca is one of their newest cuvées. It co-ferments Italia, Italia Rosada, and Moscatel grapes in stainless steel with 13 days of skin maceration. It displays a deep amber gold hue, smells of ginger beer, orange flowers, yeast, and a tinge of cider vinegar. The palate shows ripe apples, cinnamon, ginger, and orange citrus. It has a bit of a grainy texture. Open a bottle next time you order Pollo a la Brasa.
