Equipo Navazos Casa del Inca Pedro Ximénez 2017

Equipo Navazos Casa del Inca Pedro Ximénez is a vintage-dated PX from Montilla-Moriles, released young and without the rancio character that long cask ageing brings.

Montilla-Moriles, inland from Jerez in the province of Córdoba, is the heartland of Pedro Ximénez, where the heat allows the variety to reach sugar levels the coastal vineyards cannot. Equipo Navazos works by selecting individual casks and lots from established Andalucian bodegas and bottling them under its own label; this wine comes from the stocks of Pérez Barquero and is drawn from late-harvested and sun-dried PX grown in one of Montilla's best single vineyards. It is inspired by the era when PX was often bottled as a vintage wine and released without extended ageing. Fortification is carried out only with top-quality, wine-based spirits. After eighteen months resting in the large cone-shaped amphorae that Montilla-Moriles has used for centuries, known locally as tinajas or conos, the wine is bottled as an ultra-pure, viscous and naturally sweet dessert wine — amber rather than opaque black, and vibrant rather than heavy.

It will keep for a very long time in the fridge once opened. Serve at 8-10°C with chocolate desserts, or alongside coffee or tea at the end of a meal.
