Veleta Sweet Melodies NV 11% ABV
500 ml
Regular Harvest Viognier with fermentation arrested by cold stabilization and ultra filtration. Mild sweet wine with depth and personality. Very subtle on the nose with hints of honeysuckle, Asian pear, and bitter melon. Rather gently sweet in the mouth, remaining light and fresh on the palate with flavors that mimic the nose. This is a subtle and delicate sweet wine which features nuanced flavors that play off the gently sweet nature of the wine and the hint of polyphenolic bitterness that helps to highlight the fruit flavors. Delicate, easy to drink ideal to serve with foie gras and other dishes that work well with a gently sweet wine
Veleta Don Miguel NV 16% ABV
500 ml Late harvest Cab Sauvignon and Merlot blend - aged 3 years in French oak barrels in the solera process allowing uniform blending.
Powerfully fruity but with a strong, if integrated, oak element lending spice to the jammy black currant, prune, and blackberry aromas of the nose, it smells a little like Napa Cabernet. In the mouth it’s mildly sweet within the dessert wine spectrum, high acid, fresh, and complex. There’s an underlying truffly, nutty element lending this real complexity that is layered with peppery spice, dark, candied, but not sticky fruit, baking spices and leather and dried tobacco nuances. The finish is terrific as the wine sheds most of its sweetness and reveals a more intense core of earthy, spicy, and candied fruit flavors that are fresh and vivid through the long finish. This is really not very sweet, which makes it ideally sweet for my palate. Break out the cheese board, or dried cakes and cookies to pair with this. One of the most food friendly and flexible examples of dessert wines available.
Note: You'll notice an increase in the price of some of our DEALS this year. This is due to the drastic increase in my wholesale costs including freight, inflationary costs in Spain (including olive oil) and the high cost of shipping in the US. As always, we attempt to keep these increases at a minimum.
