Funnily enough, the fastest selling wine is the 2014 Cuvée Cecilia, not bad because it's a sweet wine and they tend to sell very slowly. This is an unusual blend of 70% late-harvested Syrah and the rest Moscatel (de Alejandría), bottled with 185 grams of unfermented sugar. 2014 was the first vintage for some newly planted Moscatel that was used as unfermented must, then added to the result of fermenting Syrah, in two 300-liter oak barrels with indigenous yeasts; this was a fermentation that was soon stopped by the addition of alcohol. It has the classical aroma of a Mediterranean mistelle, with plenty of notes or tomato vine, black olives, aromatic herbs (thyme, rosemary, even oregano), making me think of a spiced up bloody Mary... The palate shows some bittersweet flavors, sustained by nice acidity. The wine matured in barrel for some six months and was bottled into 1,180 50-centiliter bottles in August 2015. 2014 was a classic Mediterranean vintage in Manchuela.
