Description
This Gran Barquero Fino and Rama is aged organically, under a veil of yeast (flor) in a Criaderas and soleras system that is on average eight to ten years old, so the effect of the flor (yeast) on the wine is beautifully present. It is oxidative and has a darker color with a pronounced nose, with the classic aromas. The palate is round but it is also long and sharp with pungent flavors and a salty finish. It reached 15% alcohol without being fortified. 1,200 half liter bottles produced. 93/100
The Pérez Barquero wineries were founded in 1905, although they began their modern era in 1985 with the purchase by the Córdoba, Ruz and Gracia families, and have been part of the history of the city of Montilla in Cordoba ever since. Pérez Barquero is actually the spearhead of a group that also includes the wineries Gracia Hermanos, Tomás García and Compañía Vinícola del Sur. Undoubtedly one of the great quality references of Montilla-Moriles.

I tasted two bottlings of their NV Gran Barquero Fino en Rama, which now has a very clear "Saca de Primavera 2018" subtitle (bottling from the spring of 2018) on the front label. It's from a solera that averages eight to ten years of age, so the effect of the flor on the wine is very long and is pushing it to the maximum. This earlier bottling has had some time to rest, develop and show more depth; it's a touch more oxidative and also has a darker color and a more pronounced nose, with the classical aromas. The palate is round with no edges, but it's also long and sharp with pungent flavors and a salty finish. It achieved 15% alcohol without being fortified. 1,200 bottles produced. The price is for a half-liter bottle.
Pérez Barquero is one of the quality leaders in Montilla Moriles, where they have purchased a new 40-hectare estate. They have a clear focus on the vineyards, of which they now own 140 hectares, and they also keep improving their technology and processes. Annual output is three million bottles.

Perez Barquero is known worldwide for the quality of its wines. The first cellars of Perez Barquero were established in 1905 in the historic town of Montilla-Moriles, south of Cordoba. The tradition of winemaking here dates back to Roman times and has never left the city. Until 1933, Montilla-Moriles was part of the Sherry area of Jerez. Since it got its own designation of origin, the winegrowers have gone their own way. The more than 100-year-old cellars of Perez Barquero are still in use. Unlike the Sherries from Jerez, Barquero's wines are made exclusively from the Pedro Ximénez grape.
