The Balance of Oxidative Ageing
This unique PX is aged in a solera started in 1964. It combines elements of oxidative ageing (like Oloroso or Palo Cortado) with the natural sweetness of PX.
Production:
Grapes are lightly sun-dried for three days before pressing and fermenting in barrel up to 17% natural alcohol. A careful addition of raisin juice each year adds subtle sweetness (around 45 g/L), creating a wine that is rich but never cloying.
🌡️ Temperature: Recommended temperature to enjoy: 14ºC.
🍷 Glass: Wide and open glass, but always in moderate quantity.
🛢️ Aging Potential: Under optimal conditions it can exceed 50 years.
Tasting notes:
Nose: Intense nose with aromas of woodwork, proper of the persistence of the Oak and the oxidation during the years. Plums and raisins also appear in second place, to finally return to noble woods.
Palate: In the palate full, round, balanced, with an intense and soft aftertaste of natural sweetness, which dissipates with a certain degree of high volatile acidity, typical of his old age. In mouth intense without being heavy, with smoky touches and soft roasts hints. Surprisingly dry without "tablazón" and finely almond finished.
