Bodegas Gutiérrez de la Vega 2006 Casta Diva Cosecha Miel Muscat (Alicante)
- Online Exclusive
- $29
Honey and corn syrup aromas tell you this is rich, but what you don’t realize so easily is how complex and expansive this Muscat is. The flavors of honey, banana and clover start out as sweet and unctuous, but then they unfurl to show depth, complexity and length.

Bodegas Gutiérrez de la Vega 2009 Casta Diva Cosecha Miel - 500 ml Muscat (Alicante)

- $30

Bodegas Gutiérrez de la Vega 2000 Casta Diva Reserva Real Moscatel (Alicante)
Moscatel from the hot plains of Alicante doesn’t get much better than this. Yes, it’s a bit oxidized and overloaded with caramel, but otherwise it’s stellar. Lovely brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla aromas lead the way for the sun-drenched fruit to do its thing. The result is an over-the-top sweetie that excites.

Bodegas Gutiérrez de la Vega 2003 Casta Diva Cosecha Miel Muscat (Alicante)

Bodegas Gutiérrez de la Vega 2009 Casta Diva Cosecha Dorada Dry Muscat (Alicante)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
Evidently dry Muscat from Alicante is a tough road to master. This wine is at once feral, floral, lemony and chemical. In the mouth, it’s sour and tight, and it never loses the tartness. Along the way there’s minerality, but overall it’s a lot like lemon juice.
