Ximénez-SpÍnola D.P.X.O. Brandy liqueur 40%
Ximénez-SpÍnola D.P.X.O.
Brandy liqueur 40%
This bottle is the end of long years of effort, of the labours of generation after generation for whom wine growing has become a vocation and a way of life. Ximénez-SpÍnola owes its prestige to its specialization in wines obtained from the pressing of sun-dried Pedre Ximénez grapes. High in levels of natural fructose, which after years in complex selection finally acquire the rigth to leave our Bodega bearing the characteristic æabel of the house of Ximénez-SpÍnola.
It was, and still remains, a tradition amongst the "Almacenitas" of Jerez to destill wines from certain casks in order to obtain "fine wine spirits from the pot still" capable of providing suffiencent quality and alcoholic content to produce an authentic "Brandy distilled from pure wine". In our case this custom date back to 1927, the date of our first documented shipment of "wine spirit". This "solera", however, given the impossibility of commercialising our limited stock, has been dedicated to our own personal consumption since it was created in 1948.
Even today, with stocks limited to 52 casks, we are well aware that it not possible to extract large qualities from the "solera", but even so, the litres which have to be withdrawn in order to bring about the oxidative regenration of the "Criaderas" prove to be excessive for our own particular use and personal enjoyment. The family council subsequently produces a small batch of no more than 3.000 bottles each year which we wish to share not only with all those we are able to appreciate and understand such a treasure, but also with many friends who have encouraged us to select and bottle it.
All these casks constitute our solera 1948, and they are classified and marked as D.P.X.O. (Destilatum Petrus Ximenibus optimum). Successive entries, duly recorded year after year in our daily tasting register, highlight the subtlely of its Mahogny tones and well balanced notes of raisin, along with a smooth hint of noble wood, all of which from part of this distillate, conserving a smoothness in the mouth along with the intensity of its aftertaste: Absolute unforgettable.
