This artisanal wine’s origin is the result of Antonio Sánchez’s personal choice and decision over the bottling’s most favorable time. Valued for being rare, deep and very sweet, elaborated with 100% Pedro Ximénez raisined grape clusters. A wine qualified as “impressive and unique” with 95 Robert Parker points.
“Convento Selección” are wines that have aged for generations in amontillado butts so that the wine and wood could merge with time and result into an unmatchable flavor. Our bottling system is called “Convento Selección” in honor to the Cistercian monk system in which the wine is classified in their own series. The entire elaboration is handmade, following San Benito’s Recula Rule: “Living off the work of our hands.”
D.O.P. Montilla-Moriles.
Older is not necessarily better. The extreme 1929 Don PX Convento Selección is a thick, dense and unusual, rare sweet beast. It is very dark with a green border, dense, oily and serious full-bodied palate with the profile of a PX from Jerez. With 500 grams of residual sugar per liter, it is a little monolithic, a little heavy and not so easy to drink. Still it is an impressive, very sweet wine that is really unique. 6,200 bottles were filled in September 2014. —《Robert Parker Wine Advocate》
