Product Description
Details
Coming from Jérez de la Frontera, the very heart of Sherry country, the wine Ximénez-Spínola Exceptional Harvest is truly singular.
Produced by the Ximénez-Spinola winery, this Spanish white wine is made solely from Pedro Ximénez.
Carried out by hand, the harvesting of the grapes took place two weeks after the usual time in order to obtain some beautifully overripe, naturally sweet fruit. Once in the cellar, they were macerated with the skins in stainless steel tanks.
Then this white wine from Jerez was transferred into old American oak barrels, where it was aged for 4 months on its lees with periodic stirrings.
Remarkable both for its quality and for the craftmanship that went into its production, the white wine Ximénez-Spínola Exceptional Harvest 2023 should improve in the bottle for years.
Production around 25,000 bottles.

| Nose | The complexity of this varietal Pedro Ximénez is remarkable. Sun-dried apricots, baked apples, quince jelly and honey, evolving into notes of English custard, citrus, marzipan, flowers and exotic spices. |
| Palate | This white wine from Bodegas Ximénez-Spínola is bold, unctuous and structured, but never flabby thanks to an exceptional acidity. Rich, textured and dry, with a very long finish. |
| Our personal opinion | The wine Ximénez-Spínola Exceptional Harvest 2023 is refined and uncommon. |

Exceptional
Spine-tingling. Ginger, nutmeg, quince, jasmine, orange blossom, white pepper. A feast for the nose - and a gift for the palate.
