Diez mil botellas Brandy

Family of viticulturists of the Pedro Ximénez grape in Jerez de la Frontera since 1729, Ximénez Spínola is a name that is never lacking in the top positions of the wines of this DO. Distilled from the House wines, which is part of the first phase of the aging process of the rest of the brandies they make. Once distilled from Pedro Ximénez, the extracted alcohols are aged in chestnut wood barrels with a capacity of 750 liters, which have been previously wrapped with Pedro Ximénez raisin wine.

Chestnut was the basic wood used in the cooperage in Jerez before 1939, the date on which deforestation caused by the civil war forced it to be replaced by American Oak. This distillate remains for at least 12 years in a chestnut barrel, before being bottled. In other words, we are dealing with the distillate that is most similar to the Brandy that was drunk in Spain until the middle of the 20th century.

Alcoholic degree: 40% Vol.

Bottle: 70cl.

tasting note

Amber color, clean, bright and particularly pale.

On the nose it is intense, but not heavy, with aromas reminiscent of raisins and plums, typical of the Pedro Ximénez casks wine as it ages. On the palate it maintains a serene balance, revealing the quality of the original aged wine distillate. Subtle aftertaste of natural sweetness that helps smooth out the alcoholic edges.
