WINE MAKING PROCESS
Tauromaqia Oloroso Viejísimo is produced from 100% Pedro Ximénez grapes sourced from high-quality areas of Montilla-Moriles. The grapes undergo a process of slow raisining. The winemaking involves an initial period of biological aging under a veil of flor, followed by an extensive oxidative aging phase lasting 25-30 years. This aging occurs in American oak butts using the traditional criaderas and solera system, a method that ensures a consistent and complex profile over time.
