Aureo 1954 Seco

"The NV Avreo Seco Anejo Solera 1954 is a solera from 1954, produced with a mixture of Macabeo and Garnacha Blanca fermented dry and fortified to 19% alcohol. It has a dark amber color and a nose full of nuts, iron, blood, sweet spices, hints of honey and noble woods. The palate is surprisingly dry, with very high acidity, great length and persistence. Have this as an aperitif or experiment with cured cheese. This wine should last well. 3,000 bottles produced per year. Drink now-2025.

De Muller was created in 1851. They might be better known by their Mas wine and as suppliers of the Vatican, but I asked to taste the traditional rancio and fortified wines, all of them from a mixture of vintages in the solera system that were outstanding. I was not surprised because I already knew them, but wanted to recommend them to you."
