Montilla-Moriles - Andalucia - Spain
ABV - 20.5%
Grape - Pedro Ximénex
This Oloroso shares its Montilla origins with our 46th and 74th editions, also from Pérez Barquero, where Rafael Córdoba has spent decades managing the vineyards and harvesting with exceptional care, obtaining excellent musts, both free-run and second-press. It is with these latter second-press musts, locally known as "wines of color," that his Olorosos are made under the expert direction of Juan Márquez. They are very fragrant and full-bodied wines, in which the characteristic roundness of the Pedro Ximénez grape is evident.
La Bota de Oloroso 116 "Montilla" once again comes from a selection of butts from the Solera Diógenes, located in the third cellar at the El Puente winery in Pérez Barquero. All the selected butts are from the actual solera. This factor, combined with the time elapsed and the fact that the saca from these butts are always very limited, means that this wine is again almost five years older than its predecessor, La Bota de Oloroso No. 74, which was also older than the No. 46 edition. Its estimated average age is therefore close to 35 years.
It's best enjoyed in medium-sized glasses (like Riesling or white wine) in small doses at a cool temperature (around 12-13°C) to soften the intensity of its powerful structure. The fragrance of this oloroso is complex and powerful enough to maintain its personality at the suggested serving temperature.
