Torres Floralis – a very beautiful wine

Absolutely delicious!

My new favourite dessert wine.

Delicious on its own. Decorative bottle makes it a stunning gift wine.

This sweet wine is made from one of the Mediterranean’s most classical stocks. The Greeks called it “Anathelicon Moschaton” and the Romans “Apianae”, because it attracts the bees that, from the Muscat flowers, make the delicious nectar of their honey.

Since 1946 the Torres family has been making Floralis-Moscatel Oro, one of the Mediterranean’s most characteristic dessert wines, nectar with an unmistakable floral perfume and a voluptuous and sensual palate.

Moscatel has an unmistakable aromatic perspective that is highly characteristic of its variety, with seductive floral perfumes (rose, geranium, lemon verbena). On the mouth it is voluptuous, concentrated yet light, full and with a delicate sensuality.

Floralis is a liqueur wine made from Muscat of Alexandria. The grapes are harvested during the first week of September. Once at the winery the grapes are de-stemmed and then cooled for skin maceration for 6 hours in order to extract the main aroma from the grapes. The next process is pressing to get fresh juice. Wine alcohol (15%) is added to the Must to obtain a natural sweet product. After a rest period of 1 year in stainless steel tanks, the wine is bottled.
