The wine region of Pedro Ximénez Sherry
Jerez DO sherry: Pedro Ximénez grapes sun-dried ("soleo") to concentrate sugars, then fortified and aged in oxidative solera. Pedro Ximénez is the exclusive fortified sweet king: ebony robe with thick tears, rich bouquet of raisin, fig, date, honey, syrup, roasted coffee, dark chocolate and liquorice, velvety syrupy palate (minimum 212 g/l, often 300-400 g/l), acidity preserving balance, interminable finish.
The wine region of Andalousie
Dry, sun-baked southern Spain, world cradle of fortified and oxidative wines. Sherry from Jerez is the signature: Palomino Fino under a veil of flor yields lively, saline Fino with signature notes of almond, yeast, green apple and a sharp iodine edge; more maritime Manzanilla (Sanlúcar); unveiled Oloroso in grand oxidation (walnut, caramel, tobacco). Pedro Ximénez from Montilla-Moriles: intense dark sweet (fig, raisin, coffee, molasses). Also muscat Málaga.
The word of the wine: Merithalle
Botanical term for the interval between two nodes or between two leaf insertions on a branch (see internode).
