The wine region of Península de Setúbal
Portuguese peninsula south of Lisbon between the Tagus and Sado estuaries. World-renowned speciality: Moscatel de Setúbal, a golden fortified sweet wine with signature notes of candied orange, dried apricot, honey, fig, currant and sweet spices, long ageing — the rare Roxo version has more floral notes. Also fruity, supple Castelão reds (64%) (blackberry, plum), perfumed Touriga Nacional. Oceanic climate.
The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
