    • Description

    D.O.P. Montilla-Moriles.

    After harvesting the grapes in the month of August, with temperatures up to 45ºC, and after the sun drying process, a must was produced and, after remaining at rest for a year, went into wood. It was made in the first week of September. After raisining for 9 days and subsequent pressing, a must with a high sugar content was obtained which, after a rest period, was alcoholized before being aged in American oak casks. “Convento Selección” are wines that have aged for generations in amontillado butts so that the wine and wood could merge with time and result into an unmatchable flavor. Our bottling system is called “Convento Selección” in honor to the Cistercian monk system in which the wine is classified in their own series. The entire elaboration is handmade, following San Benito’s Recula Rule: “Living off the work of our hands.”

    D.O.P. Montilla-Moriles.

    TASTING NOTES: Sight: Dark mahogany color, of great density that when turns stains the glass. Aroma: Raisined fruit, dates, dried apricots and grapes, also aroma of orange peel, chocolate and coffee. Taste: Sweet entry, balanced acidity and great persistence. It is a nectar for the senses.

    SERVING SUGGESTIONS: This Don PX harmonizes perfectly with dark chocolate desserts and blue cheeses.

    ***99 Points Wine Advocate - Robert Parker***
    "My favorite of all the old sweet PXs I tasted this time was the perfumed and showy 1964 Don PX Convento Selección, which still has the wooden label, but it has also been modernized and made easier to read. It is denser than any of the other wines and has a brighter edge, amber, because the center is opaque and black. It has an incredible perfume; it's floral and spicy with fresher aromas than I remember in the other sweet PXs. It fills your mouth, goes down your throat like liquid gold and explodes in the eternal finish. It's an amazing PX with 15.5% alcohol, lower that most, and with 377 grams of sugar, also lower than most. Elegant and intense, simply delicious. There are 4,630 bottles of this wine, all bottled in February 2022." Luis Gutierrez Sept 2022. Drink 2020-2040
