Product Description

"My father was privileged to visit the beautiful appellation of Malaga in the south of Spain three weeks ago and he came back raving about one wine in particular. That wine was the 2015 Botani Moscatel! It was quite warm when he was there and this wine just hit the spot for him. A crisp, refreshing white wine that cools you down! (This week, we need a wine that does just that here in Los Angeles.) The wine paired wonderfully with the gastronomic delights he enjoyed in Malaga including a range of local products such as olives, almonds, grapes and raisins, fish, seasonal vegetables and fruits. One dish that stood out for him was Espeto: sardines that have been skewered and roasted over a barbecue pit. It also paired wonderfully with a classic dish from Malaga called Fritura Malagueña, where they use olive oil and fresh flour to fry a variety of fish including boquerones (anchovies), baby squid, and salmonete (red mullet). Dee-lish! In short, let this wonderful, refreshing white wine cool you down this summer! And if you feel adventurous, maybe try to make some Espeto and Fritura Malagueña for yourself and some friends. This wine is a ‘steal’ and is a joy to drink! Cheers! – Jim Knight, The Wine House (6/21/17)

ABOUT BODEGAS JORGE ORDÓÑEZ MÁLAGA

Bodegas Jorge Ordóñez Málaga, located in Ordóñez’s hometown, was founded in 2004. A partnership between Ordóñez and the Kracher family of Austria, the winery was founded with the goal of resuscitating the centuries long tradition of winemaking in Málaga, which was destroyed by the phylloxera plague in the 19th century. It was Jorge’s dream to champion his home region and restore it to its former glory.

The winery has more than accomplished its goal by producing the Spain’s first and best dry Moscatel de Alejandría, Botani, and by reviving the tradition of unfortified sweet wine making in Málaga. Our series of sweet wines, N?s 1 through 4, are amongst the finest in the world, and are produced in the style of the unfortified sweet wines of Málaga that were internationally renowned in the 17th through 19th centuries. In 2012, N?2 Victoria became the first Spanish wine ever served at a Nobel Prize dinner.

Jorge Ordóñez Málaga produces its dry and sweet wines from Muscat of Alexandria, the oldest clone worldwide of the Muscat varietal. This is the original Muscat, which was originally cultivated extensively around Alexandria, Egypt, and planted in Málaga by Phoenician trade)2017-08-06 00:00:00.000?}
