Pedro Ximénez, “Casa del Inca”, Montilla-Moriles

SKU ENCI

The Peru-born writer and historian Garcilaso de la Vega (known as “El Inca” for his intensive studies of Incan civilization) resided in Montilla in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, and his former house is today employed as part of the city’s wine culture. Not part of the “La Bota” series due to its affiliation with a high-end Spanish gourmet goods purveyor (the original client for the series), “Casa del Inca”—named after El Inca’s residency—is produced from late-harvested Pedro Ximénez grapes from the Pérez Barquero estate which are subsequently sun-dried for several weeks, thereby concentrating their sugars even further. Fortified with high-quality wine spirits and aged in the distinctive traditional cement tinaja of the zone for 18 months before bottling, this offers a fresher, more youthfully vibrant profile than that of an older, barrel-aged sweet PX.

About Equipo Navazos
