Product description
One of the oldest winegrowers in Montilla-Moriles, dating back to 1905. The winery was founded by three brothers from northern Spain, José, Julián and Emilio Pérez Barquero. The oldest wines from this estate come from that year. The best plots in Sierra de Montilla and Moriles Alto are planted with old vines, which produce outstanding wines that have been the domain of this producer for years. Even after 1985, when the estate was taken over by the Córdoba, Ruz and Gracia families, experienced in the world of wine, the legacy of the Barquero brothers was taken care of, ensuring the development of the company while respecting the tradition of this estate.
At the turn of the 80s and 90s, the company developed its export, thanks to which today you can enjoy the wines of this brand in over 50 countries around the world. It also gained international recognition, as evidenced by the awarding by Robert Parker of 100 points out of 100 possible for Amontillado 1905 Solera Fundacional. The company places great emphasis on the aforementioned tradition and respect for the grapes, while constantly modernizing the vineyard, thanks to which it can offer outstanding wines, also in younger vintages.
A wonderful Oloroso sherry made from 100% Pedro Ximenez. The grapes used for its production come from the best plots in Montilla-Moriles. Aged in old American oak barrels, in the Solera system. It has a bright and clean mahogany color, with orange and red reflections. On the nose it is very concentrated and complex, harmoniously developing aromas of vanilla and oak wood, with balsamic notes. On the palate it is very warm and pleasant, vanilla and a bit of baking notes balance with a bit of fig and dried apricot flavor. The finish is long and harmonious, expressive, slightly bitter.
It tastes best served at a temperature of 15-18 degrees. Decanting before serving is recommended. In culinary combinations, it works well with heavier meat stews, but also with nut-based dishes or cold cuts. Desserts, which it can also be served with, should not be too sweet.
