Alvear Fino Capataz Solera de la Casa
This dry fortified wine from D.O. Montilla-Moriles is crafted from Pedro Ximénez grapes by the historic Alvear winery. It presents a bright golden color, intense aromas of yeast and almonds, and a fresh, saline palate with a long mineral finish.
Key facts
- Grape variety: Pedro Ximénez
- D.O. / Region: D.O. Montilla-Moriles
- Winery: Alvear
- Ageing / Cellaring potential: 12 years of biological ageing under flor
The vineyard
The Pedro Ximénez grapes are sourced from selected vineyards in the D.O. Montilla-Moriles region. The warm Andalusian climate and specific soils allow the grapes to reach high sugar levels naturally, eliminating the need for fortification in this style of wine.
Winemaking
This Fino undergoes biological ageing under a veil of flor for twelve years using the traditional solera system, sourced from the winery's oldest solera. This exceptionally long ageing process places the wine on the delicate boundary between an aged Fino and a young Amontillado.
Why buy it
If you are looking for a fortified wine of great complexity and historical character, this bottle is an excellent choice. Its remarkable versatility makes it a perfect match for challenging pairings such as artichokes, escabeche, or fresh seafood.
