Montilla-Moriles

About this region

The Córdoba region that is Pedro Ximénez's true home — close to 96% of Spain's plantings are here, not in Jerez. Grapes are sun-dried on esparto mats before fermentation, then aged through a solera into styles running from bone-dry fino to the near-black, raisined sweet PX that Jerez bodegas buy in. Chalky albariza soils and fierce summer heat drive the concentration.
