Jorge Ordonez "Botani - Old Vines" Sierras de Malaga Dry Moscatel 2024

Jeb Dunnuck : 92 Points

(1/2/2026) Made entirely from Moscatel de Alejandria grown in slate, the 2024 Botani Moscatel Old Vines is a fruity, floral dry wine from extremely steep, high-altitude slopes where yields are very low. The first dry white wine in Malaga, it offers a sleek, balanced burst of tension and verve, and it’s delightfully tart and tangy, stainless steel fermented and aged on the lees for six months, with great acidity and floral aromatics. Drink now and over the following 6-8 years.

Vinous - Joaquin Hidalgo : 93 Points

(6/2025) The 2024 Moscatel Old Vines Botani comes from Málaga. Fermented in stainless steel on the lees, it was harvested in a rainy vintage. The nose opens with lime and a delicate hint of Muscat, along with soft tuberose, orange blossom and a touch of mint. Dry, tense and flavorful, it expresses the Muscat character more on the palate than on the nose, with a crisp, vibrant finish. Currently made by José Fauss, the wine shows lovely expression. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2032.
