Ximénez Spínola Old Harvest - Solera 1964

Discover the exceptional Ximénez Spínola Old Harvest - Solera 1964 , a unique gem from the renowned Bodegas Ximénez-Spínola, perfectly crafted for those who appreciate the finer things in life. This remarkable wine is made entirely from Pedro Ximénez grapes, showcasing an oxidative aging process that sets it apart within the Jerez region.

Unlike typical oxidative wines, the Ximénez Spínola presents an incredibly elegant and subtle profile, reminiscent of Palo Cortado and Oloroso, yet distinct in its own right. The remarkable low perception of alcohol, at 17%, is achieved through careful fermentation and concentration in oak barrels, resulting in a nuanced flavor experience. To preserve the wine's exceptional character, the addition of raisin juice is meticulously managed each year, ensuring a delicate balance with only 45 grams of sugar per liter introduced in the final maturation year.

This Old Harvest wine boasts a dark amber color, clean and shiny, with a glyceric and slightly viscous texture. As you swirl the wine in your glass, you’ll notice pronounced legs that reveal the fermentative origins of its alcohol content. The aroma is intensely inviting, with hints of fine woodworking from prolonged oak aging, alongside notes of plums and raisins that gracefully transition back to noble woods.

On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and balanced, leaving a gentle sweet aftertaste that is complemented by a high level of volatile acidity typical of its age. The experience is intense but never overwhelming, enhanced by subtle smoky and toasted nuances that linger delightfully.

Indulge in the complexity and charm of Ximénez Spínola Old Harvest - Solera 1964, and elevate your palate with this exquisite offering from Spain, perfect for any special occasion or to savor on its own.
