Tauromaquia Pedro Ximénez 500ml

Andalusië, Spain
Pedro ximenez
4.3 | 33 Reviews
Actually, this sweet fortified wine made from Pedro Ximénez grapes is officially a sherry. Not that it has any sherry characteristics at all. Instead, it has rich aromas of sultanas, dried figs, nuts and a syrupy texture.

About the winemaker

“I help the smaller winery Gracia Hnos make this Tauromaquia Pedro Ximénez. The family who owns this winery have a few hectares of vineyards and care for their grapes with a lot of love. Because we at the Pérez Barquero winery have modern equipment, we can help them to make the best possible wine from the grapes. In this way we help each other as winemakers and this wine is a perfect combination of traditional authenticity and technical innovation.”

89+/100 - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
There is another sweet PX, the NV Pedro Ximénez Tauromaquia, in this case aged in a solera for no less than six years before bottling. Somehow the alcohol was a little noticeable in the nose, even though the aromas of raisins, dried figs, plums and dates are very strong. It's bottled with a little more than 400 grams of sugar and lowish acidity, which makes it very dense, sweet and powerful. 6,000 bottles per year.

In the southern part of the province of Córdoba is the D.O. Montilla Moriles. The desert-like climate in Montilla-Moriles is continental, with the heat being the main challenge for the winegrower. Fortunately, that climate also has advantages: pests and diseases are rare. The grape used here for the fortified wine is the Pedro Ximénes. This is ideally suited for drying the grapes in the sun before vinification, as has also happened here. It gives the wine a syrupy structure and aromas of raisins and nuts.
