Vino Dulce De Moscatel - 2007
Bodegas Ochoa

Ref: A075407

Olite

The name of Ochoa has been famous in Navarra since the 14th century, as witnessed by the fascinating document that states that Ochoa de Ayanz, wine master of Olite, was to be paid 36 ‘libras’ (pounds) and 20 ‘sueldos’ for 216.5 ‘carapitos’ of wine. The bill is dated 1370 and made out to Queen Juana, first-born daughter of the King of France, Queen of Navarra, Countess of Evreux and wife of Carlos II of Spain. No mention is made as to whether it was paid or not!

The Ochoa philosophy is that quality begins in the vineyard. Years of experimentation have totally convinced them of this: great wines start out in life as great grapes. Ochoa make wine exclusively with grapes from their own vines. They planted the vines themselves, and every year they are personally involved in the pruning and harvesting. Their quest for top quality grapes sometimes means accepting lower yields from their vines but they believe in working in harmony with the environment. They treat the land as their ancestors did, but with the aid of modern-day technology, mechanisation allowing them to provide their vines with precisely the nurture they require. And with careful, innovative vinification, they are able to make a specific wine from every individual patch of vines. All the wines are estate bottled.

The Moscatel is sweet but not in a cloying way as the acidity perfectly balances the high residual sugar.
