The wine region of Montilla-Moriles
Andalusian DO south of Córdoba, long confused with neighboring Jerez. Pedro Ximénez signature king grape: harvested fully ripe then sun-dried (soleo). Sweet liquoroso signature wines with signature notes of raisin, dried fig, date, caramel, coffee, licorice, dark chocolate and balsamic hint, unctuous long palate — the densest PX dessert wine in the world. Also dry solera versions (Fino, Amontillado, Oloroso).
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: Leaf removal
Operation that consists in removing the leaves that form a screen between the sun and the grape.
