The grapes are picked by hand in mid-August, then spend a week drying under the Andalucían sun to concentrate their sugars before pressing. A small portion of the finished wine is drawn from that historic 1922 solera itself and is refreshed with younger vintages, bringing together depth, energy and refinement in one blend. The result is a generous, beautifully composed Pedro Ximénez, with cocoa, dried fruit and mocha notes layered against orange peel and hazelnut, excellent acidity, and a long, polished finish.
