Cropped from a shorter vintage, the 2008 Old Vines is a selection of Moscatel de Alejandría grapes from old vines ('vi?as viejas' in Spanish) dried for two or three months inside the winery and slowly fermented in different sized oak barrels topped up to avoid fermentation. The wine matures for some two years, more in this case, as it fermented very slowly and was finally bottled in 2012. This sweet wine has 13% alcohol, close to 9 grams of acidity and 346 grams of unfermented sugar per liter. It has a deep amber color, basically orange, with a bright and clean nose of honey, dried apricots, pollen and beeswax; clean and powerful with the added complexity of some time in bottle. The dense palate is quite balanced with great harmony between sweetness and acidity. This is a superb sweet wine. I kept the open bottle for two or three weeks and the wine didn't budge. Only 600 bottles were produced because a hailstorm reduced the crop.
