Perez Barquero 1955 Pedro Ximenez / 15% / 0.75l

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.

Sweet Pedro Ximenez from Montilla-Moriles. The grapes used for production were dried in the sun to concentrate their flavors and aromas. Aged in the Solera system, in American oak barrels. It has a beautiful mahogany color, in the glass it is very dense. In the nose very intense but structured, full of aromas of figs, dark chocolate and a bit of licorice. On the palate it gives the impression of not too sweet, the flavors of dried fruit with a bit of plum are very elegantly broken by the right acidity. The finish is long and harmonious, although perfectly maintaining the taste of the wine.

It tastes best served at room temperature, although it can also be chilled. In culinary combinations, it works best with all baked goods with the addition of chocolate and nuts. It will be equally excellent in combination with foie gras or blue cheeses.
