Bacalhôa Moscatel de Setubal Superior 10 years old is a muscat wine produced with white grapes of Moscatel de Setubal planted in the Peninsula de Setubal wine region. After the addition of brandy, the wine was transferred to French oak half-barrels for an average maturation of 10 years before being stabilized, filtered, blended and bottled. The wines that make up this batch have an age of 10 to 15 years of staging in half French oak barrels.
In Setúbal we know the Moscatel de Setúbal or Moscatel Branco (Muscat d'Alexandria), the Moscatel Roxo (the blue variant) and the Moscatel de Douro (smaller and less blue). For the ordinary Moscatel de Setúbal the Moscatel Branco is the most used, for the special types the Moscatel Roxo is used a lot.
