The Perez Barquero winery, founded in 1905, is one of the leading wine producers in the Montilla-Moriles region. Specializing in traditional Spanish wines such as Fino, Amontillado, Oloroso, and Pedro Ximénez, it uses unique aging methods like fermentation under a “flor” yeast film and traditional American oak barrels, which give the wines distinctive depth and aroma. Perez Barquero wines receive high ratings on the international stage, making them an excellent choice for connoisseurs of quality Spanish wines.

Production Process

Type: Dry / unfiltered (“en rama”).
Variety and origin: 100% Pedro Ximénez from the best “Albariza” Sierra de Montilla
and Moriles Altos vineyards.
Production : Selection of “yema” (free running) must, natural fermentation at
controlled temperature and without adding any alcohol.
Ageing : Biological aging under a film of “flor” (yeast). Criaderas & Solera system for
8-10 years, in American oak casks. 2020 spring released. 1/6 of the cask that
complete the Solera participate in this elaboration.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Bright. Colour is a deep golden, denoting old age.
Aroma: pungent of iodine , oyster shells low tide, sea breeze, esparto grass and
boat ropes, mixing that saline/marine sensation with the rusticity of a rope
reminiscent of dry straw.
Taste: dry, but somewhat more glyceric than usual. Slightly bitter. Length. Dried fruit
(almond). Intense aftertaste and retronasality. The spring sack has a more saline
character since it is when the “velo de flor” is at its peak.

93 Parker – 95 Peñín
“The palate is round with no edges, but it’s also long and sharp with pungent flavors and a salty finish.”
