This had lain in our drawer since we know not when.
Fishing it out to drink with Sea Bass al horno the other day was an unexpected inspiration.
The Wine Anorak (Jamie Goode) notes 'The variety here is Mosctatel Tinto (or Muscatel Negro), which I think might be similar to Moscatel Roxo in Portugal (I’ll have to research this).'
While waiting for the Anorak's researches, we can only say that one school of thought think Moscatel Tinto is a black mutation of Muscat Blanc a petits grains and another has it that it is Listan Prieto originally from Spain but now common to South America.
For our taste we think it much more likely to be related to the former.
