OSCAR MESTRE | RARE MOSCATEL 2019 50cl

Rare Moscatel 2019 is the result of a very special collaboration between Óscar Mestre and Pepe Mendoza, a wine born—as the winery itself defines it—from “four hands, two hearts, and a single vision.” A naturally sweet, deep, and expressive white wine that captures the Mediterranean essence through meticulous winemaking and extremely limited production.

Vineyard and winemaking

The grapes come from vineyards located at an altitude of about 300 meters, cultivated on albariza soils and clay-iron rich land, under a clear Mediterranean climate. The vines are over 50 years old and are harvested manually.

The wine is made from a combination of musts obtained from grapes raisined directly on the vine and others dried on esparto grass mats. It then undergoes 24 months of aging in French oak barrels and old 400-liter chestnut casks that previously contained amontillado soleras, contributing complexity and aromatic depth.

Tasting notes

On the nose, it is complex and extraordinarily aromatic, with notes of spices, mustard, curry, and dried herbs such as chamomile and tea leaf. On the palate, it stands out for its vibrant acidity that balances the moderate sweetness and enhances its aromatic profile. The finish is long and elegant, with hints of lavender, orange peel, and delicate toasted notes.

Pairing and serving

Perfect to enjoy on its own, as a meditation wine, or to accompany aged cheeses, foie gras, citrus desserts, or dishes with dried fruits.
Recommended serving temperature: 6–8 ºC.

Rare Moscatel 2019 is a unique, intense, and deeply Mediterranean wine, a limited production gem that combines tradition, sensibility, and a shared vision of natural sweet wine.
