If golden syrup, orange blossom and sunshine decided to become a wine, this would be it. Xixarito Moscatel from Bodegas Barón in Sanlúcar de Barrameda is a luscious, handcrafted sweet sherry made from sun-dried Muscat grapes. Silky, fragrant and deeply nostalgic - it’s the kind of wine you sip slowly and smile.
Served slightly chilled (10–12°C) in a small glass!
This Moscatel opens with expressive, floral aromatics - think orange blossom, ripe apricot and a drizzle of honeyed citrus. Taste-wise, it’s juicy and slightly sweet, with flavours of juicy peach, mandarin and a soft, warm finish that feels smooth and welcoming without being cloying.
