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: Extraction
All the methods (pumping over, punching down) that allow the colour and tannins to be extracted from the grape skin during maceration, before fermentation begins. It is also possible to macerate after fermentation, but gently, so as not to extract the tannins from the seeds, which are greener. Because of its solvent power, alcohol favours extraction.
