Telmo Rodriguez, D.O. Malaga
The philosophy behind the Telmo Rodriguez company has always been to use native Spanish varieties (when the planting of foreign varieties has been the norm in almost every Spanish wine region), and where possible to recover and renovate abandoned or forgotten vineyards.
This is how the Molino Real 'mountain wine' project in Malaga emerged. It was the history and endangered status of this southern Spanish wine treasure that drove Telmo and Pablo to recreate 'mountain wine'.

'Mountain wine' - grown 900 metres up on very steep, schist slopes. Fabulously pure, intense and long. Golden, brimming with blossom, edged with marmalade underpinned by fresh honeycomb and shale minerality. Full and soft with fine acid providing drying cut at the finish. |

This is the most concentrated old vine Moscatel fruit, and has swallowed 20 months in new French barriques. The fruit is so good that the wood is virtually undetectable, save for an extra dimension of spicy, savoury structure tucked into the fruit richness. This is a cult wine, on very strict allocation in Australia. In Spain, it is invariably awarded best sweet wine in the nation, and ranks among the finest, most revered of all wines in Spain. |
