Ximenez-Spínola Old Harvest
Masters of Pedro Ximénez • Jerez, Spain
"The culmination of time: a cult wine that pays tribute to the nobility of a unique grape, interpreted under the artistic vision of an author's winery."
The Winery That Transcends Time
Ximenez-Spínola is not just a winery; it is the guardian of a family tradition that since 1729 defies conventions in the Jerez region. Being the only house dedicated exclusively to the Pedro Ximénez grape, its elaborations are limited editions that move away from mass production to seek oenological excellence.
Old Harvest represents a milestone in Spanish viticulture. It is a historical "assemblage" wine, where soleras with an average of 17 years of oxidative aging are selected. The result is a fortified wine that preserves the infinite unctuousness of its origin, but with a verticality and elegance unusual for its varietal.

Oxidative aging in American oak casks under the traditional solera system.
Alcohol Content
17.0% Alc. Vol. Perfect balance between power and freshness.
Organoleptic Analysis
Appearance
Deep amber color with coppery reflections and iodine hues. Its density is manifested in persistent and elegant tears.
Nose
Extreme complexity: notes of currants and dried figs evolving into toasted hazelnuts, noble woods, and a hint of fine cabinetmaking.
Palate
Gentle and unctuous attack. The sweetness is subtle and quickly gives way to a vibrant acidity and a dry, saline, and infinitely mineral finish.
Sommelier's Consultations
How to serve Old Harvest to appreciate its complexity?
It is recommended to serve slightly chilled, between 12°C and 14°C. Use a wide-bodied white wine glass to allow oxygenation to release the aromas of noble wood.
What are the recommended gastronomic pairings?
Its semi-dry profile makes it ideal for pairing with cured cheeses, foie gras, toasted nuts, and dark chocolate desserts. It is, above all, a meditation wine.
