Evidently dry Muscat from Alicante is a tough road to master. This wine is at once feral, floral, lemony and chemical. In the mouth, it’s sour and tight, and it never loses the tartness. Along the way there’s minerality, but overall it’s a lot like lemon juice.

Funky to say the least, with aromas of canned pear and pumpkin pie. Big and sweet on the palate; like candy in a cup. Clunky and chunky, but pretty good if you’re taking one nicely chilled glass with a fruit dessert. Imported by Classical Wines.

Honey and corn syrup aromas tell you this is rich, but what you don’t realize so easily is how complex and expansive this Muscat is. The flavors of honey, banana and clover start out as sweet and unctuous, but then they unfurl to show depth, complexity and length. In the end you realize that this is all about pure, unrefined power and purity. Drinking it is like a rush of natural sugar to the brain.

Moscatel from the hot plains of Alicante doesn’t get much better than this. Yes, it’s a bit oxidized and overloaded with caramel, but otherwise it’s stellar. Lovely brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla aromas lead the way for the sun-drenched fruit to do its thing. The result is an over-the-top sweetie that excites.
