The ‘PX’ grapes are harvested normally and are then laid out on mats to dry in the sun until they become desiccated and raisin-like. The dried grapes are then pressed, to deliver an intensely rich juice, which is aged American oak barrels five years. The “Solera system” is then used, under which new wine is added to the top of a stack of barrels to allow old wine to be removed from the bottom. So at least some of the wine in Alvear PX Solera 1927 is pushing 100 years old!
 Bodegas Alvear have been making wine in Montilla-Moriles for almost 300 years, and today are in possession of some of the oldest Soleras in the region.The Alvear Solera 1927 is a huge favourite of Cru staff and clients alike. This wine receives astonishing critical acclaim. Awarded 98pts from Robert Parker and 16.5/20 from Jancis Robinson, Parker writes: “Huge and viscous, yet neither cloyingly sweet nor heavy, it is a profound effort priced unbelievably low.” 98 pts, Wine Advocate
The NV Pedro Ximenez Solera 1927 is non-vintage, but does have some 1927 material in it. This is totally dark brown/amber with notes of figs, toffee, caramel syrup, molasses and coffee. It is dense, super sweet, intense, rich and an amazingly, unctuously textured, thick beverage to consume slowly and introspectively after a meal. Drink now through 2050, or even longer.
Drinking Window: 2016 - 2050

How can this possibly be so cheap for a wine with components this old and so luscious? As you might expect, extremely sweet. A mid-brown, viscous elixir of alcoholic liquidised raisins. Rich, thick and perfect for anything full of dried fruit such as traditional Christmas pudding, or poured over the best vanilla ice-cream you can find.
