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. 2008 Selección Especial 1 Moscatel (Málaga)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
This is friendly on the nose with a melon scent. It feels fresh and not too challenging on palate, with nectarine, peach and mango flavors. The finish isn’t too firm, but it doesn’t fall apart. A simple, sweet casual quaffer.

Jorge Ordoñez & Co. 2006 Old Vines No. 3 Moscatel (Málaga)
- $78
Oxidized and thick as a bull’s neck, with apricot and funk on the nose. This is thick, sticky, unctuous stuff that tastes like canned peaches and orange extract. Grows on you the more time you spend with it, but it’s on its own island with no row boat in sight.

Jorge Ordoñez & Co. 2008 Botani Moscatel (Málaga)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
This floral dry Moscatel is losing steam by the day, so I recommend seeking out the 2009 version. But if you do come across this vintage, you can expect grassy aromas mixed with fading white fruit notes. The palate is weighty, with medium acidity. Flavors of apricot are flattening and turning a little bitter. Drink up or wait for a fresher bottle.

Jorge Ordoñez & Co. 2010 Botani Moscatel Seco (Málaga)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
Grassy and oily smelling and then you’ll find a thick, oily palate with honey and lychee flavors. Not very zesty, so it’s kind of clumsy and dense, with a chunky finish and bitterness. Decent acidity is what keeps its head above water.
