Details

This iconic and kaleidoscopic creation is made with Pedro Ximénez sourced from 30+ year-old vines. The primary vineyard from which the grapes are gathered is located on the Alvear family estate, in the Lagar de las Puentes. The grapes for this wine are dried on mats in the sun to deliver an intensely rich must, then alcohol is added to prevent fermentation and any loss of sweetness. The wine is aged in the criaderas of the winery and matures in an ancient solera system which was started in 1927!

The NV Pedro Ximenez Solera 1927 is non-vintage, but does have some 1927 material in it. This is totally dark brown/amber with notes of figs, toffee, caramel syrup, molasses and coffee. It is dense, super sweet, intense, rich and an amazingly, unctuously textured, thick beverage to consume slowly and introspectively after a meal. Drink now through 2050, or even longer.

One of the world's best PX wines is Solera 1927, the pride of Alvear. Whatever solera stocks went into this bottling were well selected. Aromas of maple and fine wood turn to fig and caramel. Saturation and weight on the palate are expected, but this has some (though not a lot) acidic cut. Deep flavors of fig and Nutella finish with nuttiness and warmth.
