About Molino Real
Previously owned by the Duke of Wellington. These vineyards produced historic sweet wines, which were known worldwide. In the 18th century, this slightly oxidative nectar from sun-dried grapes was auctioned alongside the best wines from France and Germany. An 1830 Vintage was described by Hugh Johnson as the most profound and enchanting wine experience he’s ever had.
Vinification: Hand-harvested, rigorously selected grapes are placed on reed mats to dry in the sun. After a second selection, only the best-dried bunches are taken into the cellar. There they are delicately pressed and allowed to ferment naturally and mature for 20 months in large wooden barrels.
The result is a compact yet delicate, aged sweet wine that honours the ancient history of Malaga’s “Mountain Wines”. Drink the wine alongside desserts with raisins, honey, quince, nuts and a hint of cream. An aged bottle of Molino Real can also be enjoyed on its own so that the magical, lingering taste comes into its own.
