The seaside town of Chipiona derives its name from the Roman proconsul, Scipion Emiliano who introduced and planted Roman vines into the coastal areas around the present town.
Moscatel de Chipiona is made from Lustau's own vineyard named "Las Cruces" which, because of its southerly coastal exposure and sandy soils is excellent for optimising the quality, natural sugar, ripeness and freshness of the Moscatel grape.
