TASTING NOTES
Very rich, very sweet, black dessert wine with notes of molasses and full bodied raisins. Amazing Christmas Pudding wine!
BACKGROUND
This sweet wine is made from over ripe and sun-dried Pedro Ximénez grapes. The grapes are laid out on esparto-grass mats to dry for one and a half to three weeks, known as the "soleo" process. As a result the sugar concentration increases. Pedro Ximenéz Viejisimo has been aged for over thirty-five years in oak casks using the traditional method. Juan Sánchez de la Torre founded the company in 1781 in Jerez to produce fine wines. Today, 225 years on Sánchez Romate is one of the oldest bodegas in Spain and one of the few still in family hands. This has allowed it to maintain its independence and continue making wines in the same time-honoured fashion. To ensure quality from vineyard to bottle Sánchez Romate not only owns its own vineyards, but also has invested in some of the most modern facilities in the region. The ageing process is through traditional criaderas y soleras and the company produces three different ranges of sherry, from the classic Romate range to the Reservas Especiales through to La Sacristía—the company’s oenological treasures.
