Wines made from Muscat Ottonel grapes of Vinos de Pago
Discover the best wines made with Muscat Ottonel as a single variety or as a blend of Vinos de Pago.
Delicate and fine muscat whites with a tender palate and moderate acidity, on intense and refined aromas of orange blossom, rose, fresh grape, citrus, white peach and airy muscat (more subtle than Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains). Made as aromatic dry aperitif whites (Alsace, Baden), off-dry and sumptuous botrytised liquoreux (Burgenland in Austria, Cotnari in Romania, Tokaj). Created in the 19th century by Robert Moreau (Angers), a cross of Chasselas × Muscat de Saumur.
Top of the Spanish quality pyramid (above DOCa and DO), reserved for 25 exceptional estates. Estate wines, grapes and vinification exclusively on site, 10 years of track record. All styles: concentrated, barrel-aged Cabernet, Syrah and Tempranillo reds (Dominio de Valdepusa, Arínzano, Pago de Otazu), maker's blends, a few ambitious whites. Great stylistic freedom.
