The wine
El Novio Perfecto is a young, semi-sweet white wine from Vinos Mondo Lirondo in the DO Valencia. The cuvée is made up of equal parts Moscatel de Alejandría and Viura. Behind the wine are sommelier Bruno Murciano, named Spain’s best sommelier in 2008, and winemaker David Sampedro from the Rioja Alavesa. Their aim was to create a wine with the aromatic character of Moscatel and a fresh acidity that balances the sweetness.
With an alcohol content of just 10 % Vol., El Novio Perfecto is light and unpretentious. It is ideal for anyone looking for a fruity, sweet white wine with a fresh flavour.

Winemaking
The two grape varieties are vinified separately. The Muscat is vinified to produce a completely dry wine and lends the wine its fruity aroma. In the case of the Viura, fermentation is halted by chilling. This preserves some of the grape’s natural sugar and keeps the alcohol content below 10 per cent by volume. The two wines are then blended to create the cuvée.
