Lorca Fantasia El Mirador Pedro Ximenez Rivadavia Mendoza, 2020

Pedro Ximénez is a grape variety commonly found in the south of Spain where it is most often used to produce highly sweet and dark rich wines and sherries. It was also widely planted in Argentina and, until recently, used to make pretty simple dilute table wines – but it is now creating a bit of a stir. Mauricio sourced grapes from the Rivadavia region in the east of Mendoza province. On the nose, it has subtle floral aromas with earth, honey and raisins. With a relatively low alcohol at less than 10%, its sweetness gives it some weight and is balanced by a fresh lemon acidity and flavours of fresh pears.
