Leyenda Pedro Ximenez Sherry Viejo - M. Gil Luque Leyenda

The Leyenda Pedro Ximénez Sherry Viejo from M. Gil Luque shines in the glass with a deep mahogany hue that almost recalls dark amber. From the very first sniff, this sherry reveals an impressive aromatic diversity. Dominant notes of raisins, dried figs and dates mingle with intense nuances of chocolate, coffee and sweet caramel. This rich bouquet is rounded off by subtle spice and a hint of vanilla.

On the palate, the Leyenda Pedro Ximénez Sherry Viejo unfolds an impressive sweetness and richness. The opulent aromas of dried fruits, especially raisins and figs, are accompanied by a velvety texture. Notes of chocolate, caramel and a delicate spiciness lend this sherry remarkable complexity and depth. The long, smooth finish is marked by a sweet aftertaste that allows the rich aromas to fade away perfectly.

Vinification of the Leyenda Pedro Ximenez Sherry Viejo

The Leyenda Pedro Ximénez Sherry Viejo is made from the finest Pedro Ximénez grapes, which are dried under the hot Andalusian sun to concentrate their natural sweetness. After harvesting and the drying process, the grapes are gently pressed and the must is fermented.

Ageing takes place in the traditional solera system, in which the sherry is stored in old oak barrels and regularly transferred. This method allows for even maturation and the development of the intense aromas that make this sherry so special. The long ageing period gives the Leyenda Pedro Ximénez Sherry Viejo its exceptional complexity and rich flavor.
