Specifically, this wine was drawn from a solera of 22 casks located in one of the finest bodegas at Jerez de la Frontera.

After 18 months resting in traditional, large, cone-shaped amphorae (of the type used in Montilla-Moriles for centuries, locally called tinajas or conos), the wine is released as an ultra-pure, viscous, incredibly intense and naturally sweet dessert wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor those new to this wine, this isn't your opaque, black, rancio style of PX.

Of course, with 430 grams of residual sugar, it is very sweet yet balanced by just the right amount of acidity. The wine can be consumed in the same way as an aged PX: served with coffee, tea or with chocolate desserts.
