Vineyards in our region consist mainly of Pedro Ximénez (PX) vines. This vine is original from the Rin valley and was introduced in Montilla by a soldier called Pedro Ximénez, back in the XV century, to perfectly adapt to this region conditions.
The PX grape is white, round, with a very thin skin, almost transparent, delicate and very sensitive to wet climates.
The PX single varietal is the key element that distinguishes our generous wines. Very rich in sugar (high Baumé degree) thanks to PX we can make dry Fino wines of 15% natural alcohol or exquisite sweet wines, by means of a previous asoleo (sun drying) of the grapes until they reach the desired ripen level.
