Telmo Rodriguez, D.O. Sierras de Malaga
The name Malaga is arguably the most important in Spain’s viticultural history; at stage Malaga was the most important vineyard area in Andalusia. Located between the snowy mountains of Granada and the Mediterranean, these green, fertile, slate-covered slopes produce some of the purest Muscats in the world. Moscatel is a ‘vid antica’, or ancient vine and is one of the few varieties (if not the only) which has never been genetically modified.
It was the history and endangered status of this southern Spanish treasure wine that drove Telmo and Pablo to launch their Malaga project. Starting with their two sweet wines, the pair have now followed with a dry Moscatel, the 'Mountain Blanco'.

A dry white selection of Telmo’s mountain-top Moscatel. Electrifying nose: pollen, tiny tart green grapes, poached white nectarine, wattle, bramble and spiced honeycomb; deep, fine minerally yellow soil. Great texture and line, with almost succulent fruit up front, then drawn down to leanness and nerve. |
