This wine is a very dark and lusciously sweet wine with a rich dried fruit aroma of raisins and prunes.
The Pedro Ximenez grape is dried under the Andalusian sun after picking and then aged in cask for many years in the traditional Solera system within the ancient cathedral style cellars of Barbadillo.
Founded in 1821 in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Bodegas Barbadillo is now in the hands of the seventh-generation descendants of the founder, making it one of the oldest privately-held companies in any sector in Spain. The firm boasts 500 hectares of vineyards split between two farms, Santa Lucía and Gibalbín, both located in the Jerez Superior viticultural zone. They mature some 31,800 casks of wine in seventeen different bodegas, most of which are located in the Barrio Alto, the most privileged district of Sanlúcar for aging wine.
