BEST WINE TO PAIR WITH RAINBOW FRUIT SKEWERS?

Sherry? Yes! The question is what style, and once again, we find ourselves before the extensive number of options that the Jerez region gives us. Many of the dryer styles of sherry (perhaps less so biologically aged examples) can well turn a fruit and wine pairing experience into a lot of fun. But, today , we are going for one of the most classic food and sherry combinations there are. Fresh fruit and moscatel!

WHY LUSTAU MOSCATEL EMILIN IS THE BEST WINE TO PAIR WITH FRUIT SKEWERS

The moscatel is one of the sherry grapes (usually late-harvested) with pronounced fruity notes typical of this kind of grape which has a greater aromatic personality. The moscatel vineyards are close to the beach in sandy soils with a considerable maritime influence. Lustau is probably the most prominent moscatel grower, with around 25 Ha of moscatel planted in a very pure “arena” soil, less than 3 Km (5 miles) from the Atlantic Ocean.

Take a look to viña Las Cruces and learn the basic aspects of this unique and one of a kind vineyard with this mini virtual tour.

Moscatel sherry wines have a residual sugar content of 160 grams or more, tons of fruitiness and fragrant flavors, and a balancing racing acidity. They are a killer alternative for fruit and fruit-based desserts. The official web of the Consejo Regulador states: “Moscatel makes the ideal combination for pastries and desserts which are not excessively sweet, based on fruit and ice cream.” Savoring a glass of moscatel sherry with a variety of fresh fruits is one of the fastest ways to reach glorious synergies. Try this Lustau Moscatel Emilín.

Lustau Moscatel Emilín differs from most wines made of moscatel in the region due to the amount of time grapes spend in the vineyard before being crushed, pressed and fermented. Most of moscatel wine produced in the region is generally sundried (through the process of “soleo” like pedro ximénez variety to ensure a very high level of sweetness and concentration. To craft Emilín, grapes experience a late harvest. They are about a week after they reach the perfect balance between natural sugars and acidity. This subtle difference in how the grape is treated will provide a huge different in character and personality, ending in a very light, fresh and balanced moscatel. A very rare expression, even in the region!
