La Cosa
(The Thing), Bodegas Alfredo Maestro - Old Castile
(Spain, 11%)

A 100% Moscatel from Ribera del Duero, La Cosa/ The Thing is a rare delight. The deep amber liquid is deliciously and moreishly sweet, with deep, fruit flavours from the Botrytised grapes. Juicy acidity cuts through the sticky sweetness, offering a fresh, lip-smacking finish.

This alluring beauty is wonderful with caramel-, apple- and pastry- based desserts; treacle tart; and is a treat with nutty, hard cheeses, and strong, blue cheese.
