Salvador Poveda Moscatel Vino de Licor is a sweet fortified wine produced by Bodegas Salvador Poveda in the Alicante region of Spain. Made from the Muscat of Alexandria grape variety, the wine is characterized by its intense aromas of orange blossom, honey, and dried fruits. The grapes are grown in the vineyards located in the foothills of the Sierra de Salinas mountains, where the warm Mediterranean climate and the limestone soils provide ideal conditions for the cultivation of Muscat grapes. The wine is aged in oak barrels for several years, which gives it a rich and complex flavor profile. With its luscious sweetness and smooth texture, Salvador Poveda Moscatel Vino de Licor is a perfect dessert wine that pairs well with fruit-based desserts, blue cheese, or foie gras.

Valencia, a wine region stretching along Spain's eastern coast, boasts a long history of winemaking dating back to the Roman era. It's one of the country's largest wine producers, encompassing two distinct Denominaciones de Origen (DOs): Valencia DO and Utiel-Requena DO. The Valencia DO is known for its diverse offerings, including light and refreshing Cava sparkling wines and rich red wines. Utiel-Requena DO, located further inland with a more continental climate, excels in full-bodied red wines, particularly those made from Tempranillo and the local Bobal grape.
