"From the oldest soleras of the house, the NV 1905 Pedro Ximenez Solera Fundacional, could average around 80 years old. Pitch black, dense and almost solid, the fragrant aromatics offer scents of burnt sugar, toffee, petrol, bitter orange marmalade, and balsamic (mint). Very complex, velvety, and harmonious, with a long and balanced finish, this is one of the best PXs of Andalucia, and therefore among the greatest sweet wines in the world. Perez Barquero was established in 1905 and still have some soleras from that time, the foundational soleras, from which very small quantities of extremely old and concentrated wines are withdrawn and bottled from time to time . . . . Perez Barquero represents the quality summit of Montilla-Moriles . . . . The oldest wines, the ones labeled 1905, which is the year their soleras were created, were only bottled once in 2002, around 1,000 bottles of each, so the bottles should be decanted in advance to give the wines the chance to breath."

Spain has the largest area under vine of any country and a deep tradition of oak-aged reds. Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, alongside Priorat's Garnacha and Carinena, anchor its fine-wine reputation.
