Review Date: 10/2015Inland from the coast, Montilla-Moriles does not feel the influence of the sea as greatly as Jerez. In the warmer climate, the wines tend to be more unctuous and ripe. In this case, the pedro ximénez has been vinified under flor, which gives it an inescapably salty flavor that overpowers the candied apricot and prune fruit. In the end, it’s a dry, delicious sherry for jamón serrano.

Notes
100% Pedro Ximenez grown in Albariza soils in the Sierra de Montilla and Moriles Altos. Native yeast fermentation and no addition of Brandy.The wine then spends aproximately ten years aging in solera under flor. This is a Fino that stands out from its peers, not only is it not made from Palomino it is not fortified. The wine has uncommon balance, depth and complexity.
