A very fine Trasañejo, a traditional style of fortified, oxidatively aged wines from Maálaga, similar to a Sherry Oloroso. While Oloroso is made with Palomino, Málaga’s Trasañejo are normally made with Muscat and Pedro Ximénez. This particular one is 100% PX from vineyards in the Montes de Málaga subregion (vineyards surrounding the city of Málaga), aged in old American oak botas for an average of 19 years using the solera system. Notes of caramel, butterscotch and salty nuts. Long, savory finish. — 5 years ago

I think Spanish reds are underrated as a perfect food friendly wine. This was delightfully juicy, fruity, and structured. Paired with roasted lemon chicken. — 5 years ago

Pajarete or Paxarete is a traditional sweet wine from southern Andalusia. Historically, such wines came from the Pago de Pajarete, an ancient vineyard site in the Sierra de Cádiz, coveted for its wines since at least the 16th Century. Located about 38 miles north east of Jerez, Pajarete’s vineyards were devastated by phylloxera at the end of the 19th Century and never replanted. But growers in the neighboring province of Málaga continued using Pajarete’s name to describe wines made in this style. This Pajarete is a blend of Muscat of Alexandria and Pedro Ximénez, sourced from vineyards in the Axarquía and Montes de Málaga subregion on slate soils. The Muscat comes from Axarquía, closer to the coast, while the Pedro Ximénez from Montes de Málaga, further inland. They are vinified separately and blended together after fortification. After blending, they are oxidatively aged in old American oak botas for an average of 5 years using the solera system. Expressive nose. Candied fruit, caramel, wood. Smooth, balanced. — 5 years ago
