Gonzalez Byass Noe Pedro Ximenez VORS

Gonzalez Byass Noe Pedro Ximenez VORS is one of the most iconic and concentrated sweet sherries of Jerez, produced exclusively from sun-dried Pedro Ximenez grapes grown on the region's chalk-rich albariza soils. After harvest, the grapes are laid out to raisin under the Andalusian sun, concentrating sugars and flavours before gentle pressing and partial fermentation, which is halted by fortification to retain natural sweetness. The wine is then aged oxidatively for more than 30 years in seasoned American oak casks within the traditional solera and criadera system, earning its VORS classification (Vinum Optimum Rare Signatum). Bottled at 15.5% ABV, Noe is ebony-black and viscous in the glass, offering intensely complex aromas of dried fig, raisin, date, toffee, coffee and cocoa. The palate is opulent and unctuous, with layers of molasses, dark chocolate, caramelised fruit, espresso and spice balanced by a thread of acidity that keeps the finish long and harmonious. Served slightly chilled at 12–14°C, this extraordinary wine is a benchmark pairing for blue cheese, dark chocolate desserts, or simply sipped as a luxurious digestif.
