tasting note
Sight : Amber with reflections of old gold. Clean and bright.
Nose : Powerful and complex at the same time, with aromas of nuts, notes of woodwork, coffee, raisins and notable saline touches.
Mouth : Powerful, tasty and enveloping. With a great balance of acid, salty and bitter notes, clear sensations of nuts and toast as well as some pastries. With a long finish that leaves us saline memories. Pure luxury this great amontillado.
Variety and origin: 100% Pedro Ximénez from the Superior Quality area of the
DO (Sierra de Montilla and Moriles Altos).
Elaboration: selection of “yolk” musts, natural fermentation at room temperature
controlled and without the need for a header. Similar to that of the fino, because ultimately
It is an old fine wine that undergoes oxidative aging.
Aging: biological under flor veil (>10 years) followed by oxidative aging
(>15 years). Both processes take place in 500/600 l American oak casks.
and through the criaderas and soleras system.
