The wine ages under 'velo de flor' for eight months before bottling giving it a sherry-esque flavor and texture with notes of green apple, saline and dried fruit and herbs with hints of almond.

91pts - Vinous

"The 2021 3 Miradas Vino de Pueblo is 100% Pedro Ximénez sourced from Montilla-Moriles. Aged for nine months in amphorae, it presents a fino-like nose of cashew and oxidized green apple. Dry, lean and compact, it offers a saline, enticing palate. This is a cheerful sip for a summer apéritif."

 

91pts - Wine Enthusiast

"This is a deliciously serious wine. Gold in color, fragrant aromas of baked golden apple, overripe pear, lemon curd, quince and dried white blossom fill your glass. Vibrant, sinewy, muscular and creamy in texture, subtle flavors of honeyed white peach dance on the palate flanked by bread dough."

 

91pts- James Suckling

"Briny nose with hot stones, seaweed, white almonds and a hint of bruised crab apples. Pretty flavorful on the palate with a full body where you will find tangy flavors. Bone-dry and mouth-watering finish with a briny, saline tang. Delicious now."
