That light and the good weather go to the hair for this wine , a Cordovan from Montilla who asks for sun and a good appetizer or meal outdoors (even if it is in confinement mode ON, at least open the window to allow the breeze to blow).
Made with Pedro Ximénez from the area that gives it its name, it has spent four years resting in one of those used in the winery to make Fino CB, and in contact with the lees of this Fino.

Mineral, aromatic and voluminous , is one of those wines that are liked by those who are most reluctant to enjoy wines from the south, due to its enveloping character and its ability to combine with risky dishes . Cheer up, it's time to enjoy the light.
