Solera Fina María del Valle en Rama 37,5 cl
Description
Le « Solera Fina María del Valle » est un Fino issu de l'acquisition du fonds de commerce des domaines Baena Panadero, aujourd'hui disparus, en 1964. C'est ainsi que le domaine Gracia Hermanos s'est approprié l'une de ses marques les plus prestigieuses, qui a été relancée en 1975. Son assemblage a débuté par une sélection de vins anciens provenant de vignerons et de négociants de Moriles Altos. Le nom fait référence à une personne réelle, la fille de l’ancien propriétaire Miguel Baena Morón.

L'avis des experts
The spring 2025 bottling (marked clearly on the front label) of the NV Solera Fina María del Valle en Rama averages close to 10 years of age in the soleras and criaderas system of dynamic blending that started in 1975. It has 15% natural alcohol with a pH of 3.15 and 4.15 grams of acidity. It seems to be growing in complexity and depth compared with the previous bottlings. This is truly stunning and a textbook example of the category, pungent, clean and expressive with notes of esparto grass, brine, wet chalk and yeasts. The palate has terrific balance and clean and focused flavors. Better than ever? Just 600 unfiltered half bottles were produced in May 2025. The price—a real bargain—is for a half bottle, but it's also produced in magnum (which age at a much slower pace, of course). - Luis Gutiérrez.
Very pure and expressive, with wet chalk, cardamom and wet grass undertones on the nose. The palate has wonderful intensity and energy combined with great concentration and incisiveness. Saline and long. This was aged for around eight years under flor. Drink now.
Excelente.
