About the Moscatel Galego Roxogrape variety
This grape began life as a natural genetic mutation of Moscatel Galego, of which there were small quantities in Península de Setúbal.
It makes fortified wines similar to those from the Moscatel de Setúbal grape, but with more complex aromas and flavors. In comparison to Moscatel Galego, the bunches and grapes are smaller, and in color an exotic pink as opposed to yellowish-green. Fortified wines made from Moscatel Galego Roxo are sweeter and very aromatic with a long after-taste.
