Production:  

An exquisite, very old sweet liquor wine from the vines of Pajarete, produced from a selection of Moscatel and the Grenache variety, a combination of both black and white. Bottled from the oldest De Muller solera dating back to 1851, the same year as the winery was founded, and it bears the name of the founder himself, Sir Augusto De Muller.

Tasting Notes: 

Dark mahogany color with an amber rim and endless tears. It displays a huge concentration of intense aromas, including roasted coffee, dried plums, figs, and raisins, combined with herbal notes such as rosemary, thyme, and lavender. Very elegant on the palate, a hell of mouth-filling flavors, layers of never-ending pleasures with an impeccable balance of sweetness and acidity that seduces you right to its ever-lasting finish. Delicious to drink now and will go on for years!

Note: As with all fortified wines, sediments can be produced within a period of time after their bottling. It is recommended to store the bottle upright. Excellent both as an aperitif wine and as a dessert wine. Ideal with dried fruits, fresh cheese, quince, foie-gras, and on its own.
