100% Pedro Ximenez from vineyards in Moriles Altos, one of the top areas within the Montilla-Moriles appellation. Vines are rooted in albariza (tosca hojaldrada) soils. Aged for an average of 3 years under flor in the solera system and bottled en rama (unfiltered). Intense nose with notes of toasted almonds and yeast. Sharp, very dry and saline on the palate. A very powerful and sapid, quite persistent wine. Umami 💣 — 5 years ago

9.2

Pretty, fresh, mouth-watering aperitif and food-friendly wine from one of the top producers in Montilla-Moriles. Alvear offers several different versions of Pedro Ximenez covering the full spectrum of styles- this one is decidedly austere, light and saline. Limestone and silica found in the unique chalk soils make these wines very vibrant and aromatic, providing great lift. 100 % PX from a single harvest, these are typically bottled after two years in neutral American oak casks and are not fortified (15% ABV). This is showing a very briny mouthfeel and savory flavors ranging from sea salt to green olives to fresh almonds. Not displaying a lot of primary fruit alongside the salinity- subtle apple, pear and other white fruit aromas. The freshness is very appealing, making for a great aperitif and we found it paired wonderfully with seafood tapas and salad. This is not traditional Sherry by any means (technically it is a Sherry-like beverage), but it's a superb value and serves its purpose quite well. — 8 years ago

Very old fino by a historic Montilla producer - with about 12 years of aging under flor in the solera system. Intense nose. Full-bodied, rounder than most Finos from Jerez (made with Pedro Ximenez, instead of Palomino) — 4 years ago

Wanted something unique and got it. Gold color with orange elements. Nose contains melon and slight hints of nail polish, and could even be mistaken for a red. Wine is crisp and clean but lacks depth. — 7 years ago

100% Pedro Ximenez
Medium straw yellow.

Beautiful unique bouquet of roasted almond, sour dough, and cashew nut. Surprisingly fruity, citrus note (more lemon/lime than tangerine).

On the palate, this is a refreshing wine. Briny, zesty, and herbal.

It goes so well with all kinds of food. Real underrated food wine. Most importantly, I popped this bottle about 7 months ago and I am still drinking it today. Amazingly long lasting. 90. — 9 years ago

Raisins and prunes, lovely Pedro Ximenez Sherry to sip after a lovely dinner at a French bistro here in Melbourne. — 3 years ago

Martinez

9.0

Amontillado by one of the leading producers in the Montilla-Moriles appellation (therefore made with Pedro Ximenez, as opposed to Palomino). About 25 years old - 12 years of biological aging under flor followed by another 12 years of oxidative aging. Aromas of caramel, orange peel, hay, some toffee. Dry, sharp, saline, long finish with intense notes of roasted hazelnuts — 5 years ago

Lyn Farmer

9.1

Lovely coffee, praline, honey and liquid date and prune in great balance with considerable sweetness. It is just a bit shy of the acidity needed to carry the weight of this sweetness but a lovely wine that glides on the palate — 7 years ago

100% Pedro Ximenez
Beautiful med amber gold

The nose shows a nutty, slightly raisiny character. Enticing elegance.

On the palate - full body, dry, medium high acidity. Salinity, citrus, green olive, tangy almost pickled vegetable taste, roasted chestnut, slight heat detected on the backend.

I love Montilla wines. Honest, pure, and most importantly last forever in the fridge even after you open the bottle. 90. — 9 years ago
