About this Wine

Many of the specimens from this winery have not been rescued from the closure that marked the end of the warehouse versions in the 80s. However, Will Perez and Ramiro Ibanez have dedicated themselves to searching for the soleras that tell the story from Jerez, to rescue the oldest versions of these wines.

This is the case of the Amontillado Superiorisimo Miraflores Alta wine, a specimen that is part of this history, since it is a wine that comes from a plot in the sub-region of Miraflores Alta, where the vineyard does not exist today.

However, in the winery where the last havest was made, they managed to find a barrel where this specimen was aging, but it only had a little more than 40 liters. That's when Willy and Ramiro, captivated by its quality, wanted to sell it in 100 bottles.

Elaboration

The process of making Amontillado Superiorisimo Miraflores Alta wine is not supported by any document, since only a solera with a little more than 40 liters was found. Howevery, Will Perez and Ramiro Ibanez can assure that it is a wine aged for more than 60 years, and that it was caused for its I protect the sheery barrels.

Flavour

The amontillado Superiorisimo Miraflores Alta wine has a very peculiar dark amber color, and denotes a marine aroma of the nose. In the mouth you can taste an extreme salinity, typical of Sanlucar de Barrameda.

Wines of Spain

With 2.9 million acres of land planted in wine grapes, Spain is the most widely planted wine producing nation and second largest producer in the world. Many styles of wine are produced in the country most of which are based on native grape varietals.

The two most famous regions are Rioja and Ribera del Duero for their Tempranillo production. Rioja Tempranillo (the classic) will be lighter and fresher with red fruit flavours as compared to those from Ribera del Duero that are often deep purple, higher in alcohol with more tannins and intense black fruit character. Rioja is also known for producing Garnacha (Grenache), as well as rich, nutty whites from the indigenous Viura varietal.

In the Catalonia region, Spain is recognized for making a sparkling wine in the traditional method but using native grape varieties. This is called Cava. Priorat, a subregion within Catalonia specializes in making still red blends of Garnacha, Carignan and often Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon in a bold and full-bodied style. Together with Rioja, wines from Priorat have achieved DOCa/DOQ status signifying their quality.

Sherry is Spain’s famous fortified wine which can either be completely dry, lusciously sweet or somewhere in between. This is made in the southern region of Jerez.

Other notable Spanish wine styles include: Monastrell (AKA. Mataro/Mourvèdre), produced in the Jumilla region and refreshing white Albariño and Verdejo from north western Galacia.
