Grape characteristics |
Name |
Moscatel Galego Roxo |
Type of grape variety |
Red |
Description |
The red grape variety Moscatel Galego Roxo exists in small quantities in the Península de Setúbal. Though it produces a fortified wine similar to “Moscatel de Setúbal”, its aromas and tastes are more complex. Because of the aroma and sweetness of its berries, Moscatel Galego Roxo is often attacked by birds. This grape variety’s appearance is very different from that of the Moscatel grape: it has smaller, pinkish bunches and berries. Wines produced by Moscatel Galego Roxo have a high level of sweetness, are very aromatic and intense flavoured. Moscatel Galego Roxo is one of the “primary” grape varieties, being decisive for a wine’s aroma and taste. |
