This is a thick baby perfectly balanced that satisfies my sweet tooth! NI:4, FI:23, FC:10, B:4, L:4 (1021 views) | | | Tasted by dal1951 on 3/20/2021: Very pretty wine. Just the right viscosity, Notes of Pear and Pineapple. Would pair with a nice fruit tart or some nutty cheese like Manchego. Still one of my favorite Desert Wines and I own ladders of d'yquem (974 views) | | | Tasted by logos on 7/2/2019 & rated 78 points: Lush, yet with some restraint; very aromatic, classic muscat nose is beautiful balance of elegant white fruits and restrained florality, with a hint of citrus and a caressing softness. Quite sweet, delicious, succulent flavor, a bit deficient in acidity, suggestive of lychee, white peaches, honey. Should improve for a few years. (1623 views) | | | Tasted by WinePT on 2/2/2019 & rated 90 points: Sweet concentrated notes of honey, cotton candy, tropical fruit. (1352 views) | | | Tasted by corkscrews on 1/27/2018 & rated 90 points: A nose of honey and spice, golden in color. A medium to full bodied desert wine, with candied raisins, honey, some citrus and spice, very good. www.winelx.com (1604 views) | | | Tasted by CondorKhan on 11/30/2015 & rated 92 points: Previously had the Ordonez Moscatel #1 and loved it. This one is even more concentrated and syrupy and its complexity is more "together". Loads of Muscat muskiness plus lychee and tangerine. A lot less medicinal quality in here. Killer, and I mean LETHAL, when paired with caramel flan. One of the greatest pairing successes I've had. (1996 views) | | | Tasted by Decanthor on 7/26/2015 & rated 93 points: Wow, this is delicious. Stunning nose with flowers, peach, and a hint of guava. Rich and smooth on the palate with honey and peach notes. Long finish. This excellent dessert wine manages to be sweet yet refreshing. (1940 views) | | | Tasted by gjv115 on 11/15/2014: Light, delicious. Wish I had bought more (2107 views) | | | Tasted by professordoktor on 5/8/2014: Green grape skin, white peaches, agave syrup, mineral, just a touch of bitter citrus. Really drinkable. (2204 views) | | | Tasted by Rezy13 on 1/26/2014 & rated 90 points: Burg Wine Dinner (Woodstock, GA): Pale greyish yellow; nose is the main attraction with tons of floral qualities, jasmine, orange blossom, lychee reminiscent of a VT Gewurz, exotic; sweet palate with good acidity and freshness keeping it from being cloying, some honey echoes, lychee, peach syrup; very different and good. (2543 views) | | | Tasted by juffer on 1/25/2014 & rated 93 points: Great muscatel nose. Excellent acidy makes this wine a decadent pleasure at the end of a meal. Typical orange rind and peach in the nose with the orange rind continuing through the long finish. (1456 views) | | | Tasted by gjv115 on 12/26/2013 & rated 93 points: Very bright and light. Delicious with a long finish. Wonderful stuff. (1253 views) | | | Tasted by dmcella on 11/9/2013 & rated 93 points: Honeysuckle, jasmine, peaches in syrup, tangerine oil; super floral, but not as strong as a Muscat de Beaumes de Venise; delicious (1000 views) | | | Tasted by RussK on 6/1/2013 & rated 94 points: Russk. Liquid gold at a fools good price. (1290 views) | | | Tasted by Number51 on 4/15/2013 & rated 92 points: With very light color, this smells and tastes very much like those triangular white sugar coated grapefruit gummy candies, but it also has some nuances of ginger, honey, and flowers.
I'm okay with it, but some people might find this a bit too sweet.
This is a very delicious offering at $16. (906 views) | | | Tasted by ksigerman on 1/22/2013 & rated 90 points: Rich, unctuous, good acidity, apples, pears, apricots. Very sweet but well balanced. Delicious. (1253 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

This project was established by US wine importer Jorge Ordoñez in 2004 and a small range of mainly sweet white Moscatels are produced. As well as the No 1 Seleccion Especial, there are two other smaller volume wines, No 2 Victoria and No 3 Viejas Viñas. Both are quite a bit more expensive than the well priced No 1. The final wine in the quartet is the No 4 Esencia, made in tiny quantities. The wines are all produced from old vines on slate soils inland of Málaga and are marked by their pure upfront sweetly intense, grapey fruit. They are in marked contrast to some of the aged solera styles produced by other top producers in the DO. A dry Moscatel, Botani is also now made as well as a sparkling Botani muscat, an additional sweet Moscatel, Victoria Conarte, and a red Botani from Garnacha.Jorge Ordoñez & Co.

Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net
Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial). Based on in-spain.info.Andalucía Andalucía and its wines

Two suggestions for listing Sherries and Manzanilla wines from a frequent user in a time of change:
The vast majority of these wines are solera-produced and are therefore nonvintage; they should not be listed under a vintage date. A Saca (or bottling) can be listed with a date under Designation, since each bottling is liable to be somewhat different. Dates of accession to your cellar, if it seems important, can also be listed in Designation. <b> Only an Anada (Vintage) wine should bear a vintage date.</b>
Currently, Manzanilla wines (what used to be called Manzanilla Fino) need only be listed as coming from the wine region Manzanilla-Sanlucar de Barrameda. This assumes the 'Jerez' region, which need not be mentioned. For older wines, there may be some confusion about the origin and type. I would suggest following the label as much as possible. jht |
