Fortified dry
Ximénez-Spínola Jerez Old Harvest Medium Dry 2015 is an exclusive, limited edition fortified wine from Jerez, made only from 100% ‘Pedro Ximénez’ grapes. Unlike the classic sweet PX wines, the aim here is balance – combining dry, oxidatively aged wine with a small amount of naturally sweet component from old soleras.
The aroma is deep and mature: dried fruits, raisins, figs, complemented by notes of honey, caramel, roasted nuts and light oxidation (aging).
The wine is full, round and very harmonious – a soft natural sweetness is felt, but the overall impression remains dry and elegant. There are nuances of roasted wood, smoke, almonds, spices, and the aftertaste is long, warm and complex.
The Jerez region is characterized by a hot, dry climate and calcareous soils, which allow the ‘Pedro Ximénez’ grapes to accumulate high sugar concentrations and aromatic intensity. In this wine, the terroir is revealed not through freshness, but through concentration, oxidative depth and ripe character.
The wine is produced using the traditional solera system, where wines from different years are blended to achieve a consistent style and complexity.
In this case, an old (e.g. 1964) solera with oxidatively aged wine is used, supplemented with a smaller portion of highly concentrated, naturally sweet PX wine.
Residual sugar content - 45 g/l.
Serve at 12-14 °C with spicy Asian dishes or refreshing desserts.
