Murfatlar Hora Muscat Ottonel (75cl, 12.3%)

Murfatlar Hora Muscat Ottonel is a semi-sweet white wine from Romania, made from Muscat Ottonel grapes. It comes from the Murfatlar DOP appellation in Dobrogea, where vines grow on ancient limestone terraces that give the wine a distinctive minerality. The Muscat Ottonel grape thrives in the continental climate tempered by the Black Sea, yielding an aromatic, semi-sweet style with moderate body. On the nose there are elderflower, lime blossom honey, golden raisins and peach nectar, with a subtle lanolin note. The palate brings ripe pear and quince, a honeyed mid-palate, medium body and low acidity. The finish is warm, sweet and savoury, with lingering quince and honey.
