75 cl

Robert Parker: 96+ points

Alcohol content: 13.5% vol.

Grape varieties: 100% Completer

Vinifiaktion:

The solera principle is a method of ageing and blending wines that brings harmonious continuity and complexity of flavour over a long period of time. A portion of the contents is continuously removed from the oldest clay balls (solera) and replaced with an equal quantity of younger wines.

Tasting note:

The NV Completer Solera comprises the 2018 to 2022 vintages and opens with a very dense and aromatic nose of concentrated and stewed fruit interwoven with fine tannic spices.

It is also enormously dense and concentrated on the palate, with flavours of ripe quince and honey. It is a full-bodied, rich and very complex completer that combines substance and intensity with precision, a tight structure and astonishing elegance. The finish is deep, savoury and very long, indicating great ageing potential.
