The wines of Alicante
Delicious wines from Alicante
Alicante originally produced rancio wines - heavy, oxidised, sweet wines. However, local winemakers have managed to fundamentally change the way they vinify and are now producing very good, fresh wines.
The best Moscatel in Spain is produced here - Alicante Moscatel Vino de Licor - a golden yellow wine with a strong fruity aroma and musky flavour, the taste is juicy and with a long muscat aftertaste.
A rare treat is the Fondillón, made from the Monastrel grape in the same way as sherry. The wine is amber in colour, with a hint of vanilla, tobacco and cocoa in the aroma and a delicious taste.
