The wine region of Setúbal

Moscatel de Setúbal signature liquoroso white king: aromatic and opulent with signature notes of raisin, candied orange, honey, dried apricot, orange blossom, sweet spices and balsamic hint, unctuous long palate — from youthful fruity to complex oxidative aging (20+ years). Also Castelão reds, supple (cherry, plum) and Aragonez (Tempranillo) fruity. Tempered Atlantic climate.
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: Oenologist
Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
