Description

Gutierrez Colosia Moscatel is a sweet dessert wine from the Jerez region made from raisined grapes. It is made using the traditional artisanal “Pasil” method whereby the Moscatel grapes are spread out on sand pits and allowed to dry in the sun. This concentrates the natural sugar content to produce a luscious, sweet wine.

Bodegas Gutierrez Colosia can trace it beginnings back to 1838 when the bodega was built and has been preserved almost as such to this day. Towards the beginning of the 20th century it was acquired by Sr. José Gutiérrez Dosal, the late great-grandfather of the current Gutiérrez Colosía family. The Gutiérrez Colosía wines are produced in bodegas, or wine cellars, with an architectural style known as Nave Cathedral or cathedral-like warehouse. These arched buildings of significant height, help to expose the wines to the influence of the local climate.  Its cellars are located at the mouth of the river Guadalete in El Puerta de Santa Maria (the third town on the Sherry Triangle after Jerez de La Frontera and Sanlúcar de Barrameda). The location gives the Sherries produced by Gutiérrez Colosía a unique microclimate that offers the perfect humidity level to grow flor, and age their unique tasting Fino del Puerto.

This wine was previously known as Gutierrez Colosia Moscatel Soleado. 

Tasting Notes

Gutierrez Colosia Moscatel Sherry has a rich, burnt gold colour with spicy orange rind on the nose, fat raisins and sweet muscat flavours. A light but sweet mouth feel, the aromatics come through in the taste, more raisins and almost a little grapiness with some orange toffee and a full sweet finish. It is easy to imagine the sun-dried grapes and the sweetness developing.
