Montilla-Moriles, SpainThe solera started 1927, so a tiny portion of this special wine is now 90 years old. Pedro Ximenez grapes are harvested late, and spread out on mats for one month to dry in the southern Spain sun until they are raisins. When pressed, the must is exceptionally sweet and quickly muted with the addition of spirit. Dark maple syrup, treacle, roasted pecans mix with raisins, dried apricot, hoisin, coffee, walnut, orange, toffee flavours with a stream of acidity to keep it all fresh. Very full in the mouth and quite sweet at 405 grams of residual sugar. Try with dried fruit, nuts and cheeses or a pecan tart.Tasted: 13 February 2018Tasted by: Prices:

Montilla-Moriles, SpainLove love the unabashed tradition of this wine. Unapologetically and confidently a bit of a conundrum; exceptionally sweet, and overtly salty. Fish sauce and soy, with delicate floral tea leaves. Browned walnuts, hazelnut and nut oil, alongside burnished oranges and grassy earth. Baked figs, coffee and cloves linger far past a single sip. Potent, savoury and unforgettable. Try with vanilla bean ice cream and cracked black pepper. Fantastic value.Tasted: 05 September 2014Tasted by: Prices:
