Is this wine dry, off-dry, or sweet?
The Ha Pasado Un Ángel wine is decidedly semi-sweet. It possesses a silky unctuousness and a perceptible natural sweetness that comes from the residual sugars of the grape itself, completely distinguishing it from dry wines or extremely dense and cloying dessert wines.

What is the ideal serving temperature and how should it be kept at the table?
It is strongly advised to serve it very cold, at a meticulous temperature of between 6°C and 8°C.
