Ximénez Spínola Old Harvest - Solera 1964
100% Pedro Ximénez Oxidative Crianza wine, a unique piece in the entire Jerez Region. A white variety that behaves dry with notes very similar to Palo Cortado and Oloroso, but with the subtlety and elegance of a grape that has never been bottled with this particular elaboration. It is not the typical Oxidative Aged Sherry wine, in fact the alcoholic perception is minimal thanks to the fact that the degree is obtained in a fermentative way and by concentration in barrels. For this reason, and to avoid refermentation, the contribution of raisin juice, which softens the wine and leaves sugars unfermented, is done very carefully each year, providing very few litres per barrel in ageing, until reaching 45 grams per litre in the last year.
Wine of dark amber color, clean, bright, glyceric and steely with apparent density. The rotating glass has an accentuated tear that denotes the fermentative origin of its alcoholic content.
On the nose, intense with aromas of cabinetmaking, typical of the persistence of the oak and the oxidation of the years. Plums and raisins also appear in the background, and finally return to noble woods.
On the palate full, emphatic, balanced, with a soft aftertaste of natural sweetness that dissipates with a high degree of volatility typical of its old age. On the palate it is intense without being heavy, with smoky touches and soft roasts.
