KEY INFORMATION
The Pedro Ximnez grape, although a white grape, is treated slightly differently as it is destined for sweet wines. The grapes are collected from the vine slightly later and they are then sundried in a process called soleo. The Pedro Ximenez grape undergoes a strong press due to its dry state similar to olive oil production. The must then begin to ferment although stops at around 7% alcohol due to sugar stress. At this time the wine is fortified to 15% alcohol and then enters into the Nctar solera. The wine remains in cask for an average of 8 years following the traditional Solera system.Nctar shows an intense ebony colour with iodine tones and intense legs due to high sugar content. On the nose rich aromas of fruits such as raisins, figs and dates accompanied by honey, syrup and fruit preserve. On the palate velvety and smooth with good acidity which alleviates the sweetness. Long and flavourful finish.Serve slightly chilled in small wine glass.Nctar is an ideal dessert wine,
