Old Harvest Pedro Ximénez DO 0,5 l - Ximénez-SpinolaThe Old Harvest Pedro Ximénez D.O. from Ximénez-Spinola appears in the glass in an appealing amber hue and reveals wonderful aromas of prunes, raisins, oak, hazelnuts, nougat and a hint of licorice. This soft sherry is fully aromatic on the palate with an intense nutty note. On the finish, Old Harvest is present with a fine spice and minerality. Vinification of the Old Harvest Pedro Ximénez D.O. by Ximénez-Spinola A 1964 solera base is used for this sherry. After hand-harvesting, the grapes are sun-dried for 3 days and, after pressing, the must is fermented in barrels until it reaches 17% vol. Then the base sherry goes into the 1964 Solera - 100% Pedro Ximénez. Each year, in addition to dry base wine, the solera is also filled with selected must so that a residual sugar content of 45 g/l is achieved and maintained. The goal is not to let the oxidative notes or the oak become too dominant, but to balance everything well.
