Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainThis golden elixir has been made by the Torres family since 1946. It is akin to France's Vin du Naturel, in Spain called Vino di Licor. It is made from Muscat de Alejandra grapes that have not been fermented while must from the pressings is fortified with distilled wine to bring the alcohol up to 15%. This heady, orange oil, ginger and honey blossom sip finishes with soft, round, unctuous candied mandarine fruit flecked with clove. Roasted marcona almonds is the match but crème brûlée comes to mind as well. A late night dessert wine to contemplate the state of the world in the wee hours of the morning.Tasted: 29 November 2017Tasted by: Prices:

Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainMade from muscat of Alexandria, this dessert wine is primarily made from juice with some brandy added to bring the alcohol content up to 15 per cent. Big floral, spicy, apricot, nectarine skin, honey and raisin aromas. Ripe, rich, round and unctuous but has good acidity. Lots of spicy dried apricot, floral, raisin, butter and peach flavours. A touch warm but great fun to drink with a fruit dessert.Tasted: 02 June 2006Tasted by: Prices:
