In addition to being a dessert wine, Moscatel de Setúbal is also an aperitif, so accompanying it with all types of dried fruits is a good choice, even salty ones, which by contrast provide a good pairing. We even recommend our Moscatel de Setúbal Tonic recipe for the hot summer days, accompanied by toasted almonds with a little bit of salt.
When we are dealing with more complex and older Setúbal muscatels, dried fruit aromas are frequent, where hazelnut, walnuts, fig, and raisin aromas stand out. All desserts based on these ingredients are good “marriages” with Moscatel de Setúbal.
