A Classic Sweet PX
This is PX in its purest form — sweet, velvety, and indulgent. Grapes are sun-dried for at least 21 days before pressing, a process known as asoleo, which transforms them into raisins while concentrating natural fructose.
Production:
Yields are extremely low, with just 200 litres of raisin must per tonne of grapes. The wine gains 12% natural alcohol through fermentation and is aged for 12 months in American oak before bottling, unfortified and unblended.
🌡️ 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: Scents of ripe grapes, raisins, dried plums. Fermentative memories, slight oxidation and subtle notes of wood. When the glass is rotated, the raisins appear more intensely as a hegemonic aroma. It is direct and not complex in nose.
Palate: It has a fresh and velvety entry, very integrated acidity that facilitates the tasting experience: dates, figs and of course raisins. It is intense but its aftertaste is much less persistent than that of a very old Pedro Ximénez. A juice of fermented raisins with slight notes of oxidation and wood.
