JP Muscat
Moscatel de Setúbal was traditionally made with a minimum 67% of Muscat grapes, but now, under EU law, it must contain at least 85% of Muscat to name the grape on the label: as Moscatel de Setúbal, or Moscatel Roxo or simply Roxo. There is still a 67% minimum Muscat content for wines with less than 85% Muscat, and these wines must be labelled simply as ‘Setúbal’; however, Muscat flavour is powerful and dominant, and still makes its mark. Setúbal wines are always seriously sweet, and may be sold at alcohol levels between 16 and 22%.
