Description
Experience the artistry of winemaking with the Molino Real Málaga Muscat 2020, a remarkable sweet white wine originating from the sun-drenched vineyards of Málaga, Spain. Nestled in the Zona Axarquía at an elevation of 550 meters, the grapes are cultivated in a unique terroir characterised by shallow, stony soils that imbue this wine with its exceptional quality.
The 2020 vintage is a testament to the meticulous care in grape cultivation, resulting from a year marked by a hot summer and an exceptional harvest. Sun-drying methods, known as asoleo, concentrate the grape sugars, leading to a rich, intensely aromatic sweet wine.
Each bottle reflects a harmonious balance of flavours, boasting:
- Aromas: A vibrant bouquet of dried peaches, orange blossoms, enriched with delicate honeyed notes and subtle herbaceous hints.
- Palate: Luxurious layers of ripe apricot and orange zest with a velvety texture, leading to a finish of warm spice and honeyed finesse.
- Finish: A lingering finish that unfolds with vibrant peach nectar and golden raisin sweetness, enhanced by a crisp acidity that maintains a refreshing quality.
The Molino Real Málaga Muscat 2020 is best enjoyed when served chilled at 8–10°C. To enhance your tasting experience, consider these serving suggestions:
- Use elegant tulip-shaped glasses to focus the aromatic notes.
- Garnish with a thin strip of fresh orange zest or edible flowers for an aromatic twist.
- Pair with spicy Asian dishes like Thai green curry to balance heat with the wine's sweetness.
- Complement blue-veined cheeses such as Roquefort or Stilton for a luxurious contrast.
- Enjoy alongside roast pork glazed with prune or pineapple for a delightful sweet-savory harmony.
- Create a refreshing dessert cocktail by mixing with sparkling water and a splash of elderflower syrup over ice.
- Incorporate into a summer fruit salad for enhanced aromatic richness.
Let the Molino Real Málaga Muscat 2020 elevate your gatherings, making it the perfect choice for those seeking a richly expressive and indulgent sweet white wine experience.

Storage advice
For storing Sweet White (such as a Muscat 2020) adhere to the following practical guidelines:
- Temperature: Store unopened bottles in a stable cool environment between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to preserve freshness and prevent premature aging.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light to avoid light-induced degradation and flavor loss.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is properly sealed with its original cork or cap. Once opened reseal tightly and consider using a vacuum wine preserver to reduce oxidation risk.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle horizontally if sealed with a natural cork to keep the cork moist and airtight; if sealed with a screw cap position is less critical but horizontal storage still minimizes oxygen exposure.
- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity around 70% to keep natural corks from drying out; too dry can shrink corks causing spoilage too moist may promote mold but rarely affects sealed bottles.
- Opened Bottle Storage: Once opened keep the bottle refrigerated at around 45°F to 50°F tightly sealed and consume preferably within 3–5 days to maintain quality and reduce oxidation.
Because this is a sweet white wine typical white wine storage conditions apply. Avoid long-term refrigeration of unopened bottles to prevent cork drying but use a wine fridge or cool cellar instead. Avoid temperature fluctuations as they accelerate deterioration.
Following these storage practices will best preserve the bottle’s quality and shelf life.
