Product Description
Details
This is a very good wine from Montilla-Moriles, crafted solely from Pedro Ximénez grapes by the oldest winery of this region, Bodegas Alvear.
The grapes were naturally sun-dried and then Alvear Pedro Ximénez 1927 was aged in used American oak barrels following the traditional “soleras y criaderas” system of rotation for five years. We should enjoy this wine over the next 3-4 years.
A wine that will seduce you from the very first sip, Alvear Pedro Ximénez 1927 will enhance and prolong any after-dinner conversation. We would recommend that you drink this fortified sweet wine without food, in the afternoon with sweet pastries or perhaps with dark, bitter chocolate.
A suggestion: if you want to give your dishes a sophisticated twist, prepare a reduction of this wine to dress foie gras, red meats, or a salad. The versatility of this wine is difficult to match. Besides, it has an exceptional price.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The wine Alvear Pedro Ximénez 1927 has a deep mahogany colour with iodine edges. This wine from Montilla-Moriles has a high, clean, dense robe. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Intense aromas, defined by an nicely varietal Pedro Ximénez character. Notes of black fruit, dry figs, nuts, quince, and ripe black fruits intertwined with honey, burnt sugar, and toast. |
| Palate | Lush, with a big and intense entrance on the palate. Very expressive, this wine by Bodegas Alvear is dense and medium-sweet, with a long and silky passage, nuanced by hints of cocoa, orange peel, aromatic herbs and coffee. Great and refreshing acidity, a perfect counterpoint to its sweetness. Long, complex finish which leaves a pleasant aftertaste. |
| Our personal opinion | A very good choice, Alvear Pedro Ximénez 1927 is perfect for any moment. A great fortified wine. |
