2009 Mountain Moscatel Secco, Malaga, Telmo Rodriguez
Moscatel
Inspired by wine writer Hugh Johnson's comment that one of the greatest wines he'd ever tried was from the mountains of Malaga, relentlessly-innovating winemaker Telmo Rodriguez went that way in search of a high-altitude vineyard. Having secured a plot and planted it to Moscatel, he produced his first vintage in 1998. Initially these were sensational sweet wines but in recent years he has turned to making the fruit from these high (550 m) vineyards into a complex dry white. Highly recommended.
