Solera 1927 Montilla-Moriles Pedro Ximénez
The NV Solera 1927 is a sun-dried Pedro Ximénez wine sourced from Sierra de Montilla. Aged for 20 years in a very old solera, this mahogany-colored wine offers aromas of caramel, saffron and tar, along with licorice and herbal notes. Very sweet and concentrated, the palate reveals a wild herb core with a balanced and potent mouthfeel. Despite its sweetness, it maintains balance with a warm, rich heart—a unique sip from Montilla.

Even more toffee than the Solera Cream, with the obvious molasses comparison coming to mind. Black tea also very evident on the nose.

Aug 30th, 2016Dark mahogany. M+ viscosity. Raisins, gigs, prunes, dried fruit, citrus, Christmas fruit cake. M+ acid, rich and full bodied. Mouth coating and a long lingering finish. A classic! Serve with a salty Spanish cheese plate! You'll be in heaven.

Aug 14th, 2024Wow. What didn’t this Sherry taste of? Fig, sultana, toffee, candied lemon peel, apricot nectar, smoke, leather, and a never ending finish. Brown colour and lusciously sweet.
