From a difficult vintage that was wet during the growing season and at the end of the harvest, the 2013 Cuvée Cecilia is a sweet red made up of 70% late-harvested, raisined Syrah and 30% Moscatel de Alejandría from bought-in musts. It was fortified to 15% alcohol leaving 170 grams of residual sugar in it. It matured for six months in used 300-liter oak barrels before bottling. It could probably age, but I prefer these wines in their exuberant youth. The nose combines curious notes of tomato and olive together with orange-peel aromas from the Moscatel making an unusual combination (raisins with fresh must!). The palate is rather sweet and could do with more freshness. It's better served at the temperature of a white wine to go with red fruit desserts. 1,180 half-liter bottles were produced.
