In northern Spain near the Pyrenees, Camilo Castilla’s fields lie on calcareous and clayey soils. This single field wine is made from 100% moscatel de gran menudo, which is identical to ‘muscat blanc à petits grains’, the unconditionally best muscat variant.

The wine is cold fermented at 15 degrees to ensure a fresh fruitiness in the wine. The fermentation is stopped with wine spirits, so the wine retains its natural grape sweetness.
The low yield of ancient vines ensures an unheard of concentrated moscatel dulce, which has the grape-flavored aromas from the grape, but also honey and pineapple as well as an obesity and fullness that is not usually associated with this type of wine.
