Montilla-Moriles appellation. Crafted exclusively from Pedro Ximénez grapes, it offers a distinctive regional interpretation of Oloroso shaped by the naturally generous character of this celebrated local variety. The fruit is sourced from estate vineyards planted on the chalky white albariza soils characteristic of Montilla-Moriles. Grapes are harvested by hand in August before pressing, with the finest musts selected for the wine. It is matured oxidatively for a minimum average of 15 years in American oak barrels through the traditional criaderas and solera system. This prolonged ageing develops remarkable savoury complexity while retaining balance and freshness. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the wine displays a deep mahogany colour framed by old-gold highlights and slow-moving legs. The bouquet is intense and mature, revealing seasoned American oak, toffee, smoke, vanilla and caramelised nuts accompanied by suggestions of ripe fruit. Its palate is dry, smooth and composed, with the rounded texture expected from extended oxidative maturation. A clearly defined saline quality provides freshness and definition through the centre of the wine. Mature oak contributes an elegant bitterness that adds complexity rather than harshness. The finish is persistent, carrying toasted nuts, caramel, smoke, old wood and savoury mineral nuances. Serve it slightly chilled alongside braised meat, rich stews, artichokes, asparagus, mature cheeses and roasted nuts, or enjoy it independently as a contemplative after-dinner wine. The quality of this expression has also been recognised with a Gold Medal from Mundus Vini. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Intense and mature\u003cbr\u003eSeasoned American oak, toffee, smoke, vanilla, caramelised nuts and underlying ripe fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Dry, smooth and well balanced\u003cbr\u003eRoasted nuts, old oak, caramel and ripe-fruit nuances supported by a clearly defined saline character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Complex and persistent\u003cbr\u003eLingering toasted nuts, mature wood, savoury salinity and an elegant, controlled bitterness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“This shows aromas of dried dates, candied oranges and hints of toffee.
