Pérez Barquero Solera Pedro Ximénez 1955

The Pérez Barquero Solera Pedro Ximénez 1955 is a sublime fortified wine from Montilla-Moriles that embodies the essence of tradition, craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Sourced from the historic solera started in 1955, this wine is an exceptional example of the richness and complexity Pedro Ximénez can offer.

The wine is made from sun-dried Pedro Ximénez grapes grown on the chalky albariza soils of Montilla-Moriles. After careful pressing and partial fermentation, the wine is aged for decades in old American oak barrels according to the traditional solera system. This prolonged oxidative ageing adds layers of complexity and depth, while maintaining freshness and balance.

In the glass, the wine shows a deep mahogany colour with golden reflections. The bouquet is intense and layered, with aromas of dried figs, dates, coffee, dark chocolate and a hint of orange peel. On the palette, the wine offers a velvety texture with concentrated flavours of sultanas, caramel, honey and spices. The finish is exceptionally long and harmonious, with a perfect balance between sweetness and fresh acidity.

The Pérez Barquero Solera Pedro Ximénez 1955 is a wine for special moments, with impressive decades of storage potential. It makes a perfect match with dark chocolate desserts, blue cheeses like Stilton, or as a standalone meditative wine. This rare Pedro Ximénez is a tribute to the age-old traditions of Montilla-Moriles and an absolute highlight of Pérez Barquero's range.
