Promesa sherry is made from the Moscatel de Alejandria grape grown in Chipiona, the region famous for its Moscatel. Chipiona is located at the western tip of the Jerez region, right on the Atlantic Ocean. Once the ripe grapes are harvested, they are dried for ten days. This is done by the sun; the warm UV rays quickly cause the bunches to wilt, causing them to lose some of their juice. The resulting juice is therefore of unique quality. The entire Moscatel Promesa Jerez is aged for at least four years in oak barrels in the Valdespino cellars. After this time, we can enjoy a glass of this top-quality wine!
In the glass, it displays a beautiful amber hue with an orange sheen. It truly oozes fragrance, offering hints of honeysuckle, orange peel, herbs, and chocolate. At first, the palate is pampered by sweet flavors of orange, apricot, vanilla, and a touch of spice. The full, creamy texture of this Moscatel Promesa leaves a wonderfully pleasant feeling. A lingering finish on the tongue and in the aftertaste is best described as full-bodied sweetness with light, refreshing notes of citrus and orange.
