Get to know: Quinta do Piloto Moscatel de Setúbal
Tasting Note
This is Portugal’s answer to liquid gold—rich, smooth, and utterly indulgent. Expect aromas of orange marmalade, quince, dried apricots, and a touch of warm spice and hints of aged brandy. On the palate, it’s lusciously sweet yet beautifully balanced, with vibrant acidity keeping things fresh. The finish? Long, complex, and satisfyingly rich.
Delightful paired with fruity, citrus puddings.
Kate Says
"Think of this as sunshine in a glass—sweet, bold, and full of flavour. Perfect for sipping after dinner, or paired with a chunk of Manchego or Azeitão cheese for a proper Portuguese treat. A little goes a long way, so take your time and savour it!"
