Moscatel Roxo Private Selection 2002 Domingos Soares Franco
Reviews
This fine dessert wine, Jose Maria da Fonseca Domingos Soares Franco 'Coleccao Privada' Moscatel Roxo Rose from 2006, is very light pink and bright in color. Little tears and a wide watery edge. Youthful fresh aromas of red fruit, especially raspberry and some floral notes of rose petals perceptible. Cork-dry, refreshingly acidic, again dominant red fruits, such as raspberry and strawberries, in the mouth. The finish is of medium length.
Food pairing
Delicious with a sabayon with fruit or with a fresh fruit salad, all kinds of cakes and cakes with fresh fruits and fruit compotes also delicious with pancakes with vanilla sauce and desserts based on hazelnut and almonds
