Jorge Ordoñez & Co. 2005 Esencia de Almachar Moscatel (Málaga)
- Online Exclusive
- $112
Hay stack, honey and rich apricot and peach aromas lead to a thick, unctuous palate that’s basically viscous as syrup. But wow does it taste good; it’s deep and delicious, with honeyed fruit, brown sugar and maple notes to go with lush stonefruit essence. Pour atop vanilla ice cream for an amazing dessert.

Jorge Ordoñez & Co. 2004 Victoria Moscatel (Málaga)
- Editors' Choice
- $44
Hand’s down, the best of Jorge Ordoñez’s dessert-styled Moscatels is the Victoria. It’s floral and piercing on the nose, while the palate is ripe and smooth, with honeyed mango and pineapple flavors. Balanced like a gymnast on the beam, this sweetie is textured, rich and also a little bit racy.

Jorge Ordoñez & Co. 2007 Victoria 2 Moscatel (Málaga)
- $26
A lovely sweet wine with apricot, mango and floral aromas. It’s smooth and neither heavy nor cloying, with clean lines, fine acidity and moderately thick and honeyed flavors of apple, melon and mango. Sweet, long and pure on the finish.

Jorge Ordoñez & Co. 2007 Old Vines No. 3 Moscatel (Málaga)
- Online Exclusive
- $73
Peach and apricot aromas are a touch grassy, as if some alfalfa or sweet grass were blended into the Moscatel. The palate is juicy and quite high in acidity, while it tastes of tangerine and other citrus fruits. Sharp on one hand but fresh and flavorful on the other.

Jorge Ordoñez & Co. 2004 Old Vines Moscatel (Málaga)
- $66
An ultrarich, TBA-styled Moscatel, syrupy and dripping with concentrated peach, pineapple and mango flavors. Almost overdone but still in balance courtesy of good acidity.

Jorge Ordoñez & Co. 2007 Selección Especial 1 Moscatel (Málaga)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Apricot and ripe peach aromas scream Moscatel, and there are soft tropical backing scents to boot. The palate has a basic, comfortable feel and nice but regular flavors of toffee, honey and peach. Balanced and solid, but not what you’d call otherwordly.

Jorge Ordoñez & Co. 2009 Botani Moscatel (Málaga)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Fragrant as dry Moscatel should be, with aromas of the tropics, pineapple and lychee. The palate is forward and clean, with pineapple, lychee, green banana and nutmeg flavors. Medium-long on the finish, with some pithiness. Goes well with food; a good apéritif white that’s out of the ordinary.

Jorge Ordoñez & Co. 2004 Seleccion Especial Moscatel (Málaga)
- $20
Smooth, oily and nice up front, with sweet orange marmalade and some pith on the back palate. Plenty of zest to this, it comes across much like a German Auslese. Not too unctuous or difficult.
— M.S.
