Description

A clear appearance with bright golden hues. Some aromas of dried fruit, but also aromas typical of the variety such as tangerine and orange peel. Sweet and elegant, with some acidity and a long finish.

Winemaking:
Favaios is a sweet Moscatel wine made with Moscatel grapes, intended to be consumed before and after meals. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature (23ºC to 25ºC) for about three days, with intense skin contact. It is then interrupted by the addition of brandy, resulting in a wine with high levels of alcohol and residual sugars. The wines aged in oak barrels and casks for several years. After aging, the best vintages are selected to form the final blend, which in this case consists of wines from the 1989, 1996, and 2003 vintages in different proportions, resulting in a wine with an average age of about 10 years.
