Alvear White 'Tres Miradas Vino de Pueblo' PX 2021

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“The 2021 3 Miradas Vino de Pueblo is 100% Pedro Ximénez sourced from Montilla-Moriles. Aged for nine months in amphorae, it presents a fino-like nose of cashew and oxidized green apple. Dry, lean and compact, it offers a saline, enticing palate. This is a cheerful sip for a summer apéritif.” - 91 PTS, JOAQUIN HIDALGO, VINOUS MEDIA (08/2024)

“Briny nose with hot stones, seaweed, white almonds and a hint of bruised crab apples. Pretty flavorful on the palate with a full body where you will find tangy flavors. Bone-dry and mouth-watering finish with a briny, saline tang. Delicious now.” - 91 PTS, ZEKON SHUAI, JAMES SUCKLING (09/2023)

DISTRIBUTOR NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “The Pedro Ximénez comes from a combination of plots between the Riofrío Alto and Cerro Macho estates located in the Sierra de Montilla, considered the Grand Cru of Montilla-Moriles.The vines are over 50 years old, brush trained, and farmed sustainably, growing upon Albariza, soil composed mostly of limestone and soft maristone.”

WINEMAKING: “Once the fruit is harvested, it is directly pressed without maceration and fermented in tinajas, a traditional concrete amphora of 4800L. The wine ages under 'velo de flor' for eight months before bottling, giving it a sherry-esque flavor and texture.”
