Alvear Px de Añada · 2023 · 37.5cl
With the 2011 vintage, this discreet but exceptional sweet Pedro Ximénez wine surprised everyone by receiving 100 points from Robert Parker himself. An impressive PX, young and fresh, with incredible ageing capability and good evolution in bottle, very rich in aromas of figs, chocolate, caramelised fruits, with an unctuous texture, sweet yet having a fantastic acidity which makes it glide weightlessly on the palate... Perfection reached with virtually every harvest. Plus merits abound at this price. A little gem which, for a very small sum, will delight everyone at the end of a fine dinner.

About the vineyard[+]
The Montilla-Moriles Denomination of Origin is located in the south of the province of Cordoba and, although its wines can sometimes be confused with those of Jerez, because they are also made using the traditional system of soleras and criaderas, they are quite different. They are very aromatic wines, with a velvety texture and a hazelnut background, characterised by the fact that they are made mainly from Pedro Ximénez grapes, a grape rich in sugars. There are three basic types of Montilla wine: young fruity, crianza and fortified. Depending on the ripeness of the grapes, there are finos, amontillados and oloroso. Originally from the area we find the sweet Pedro Ximénez, made from this grape variety, which is becoming increasingly popular. The climate is Mediterranean with a certain continental character, although not very marked, as it is dry and semi-arid. Summers are long, hot and dry. Winters are short and cold.
