TASTING NOTE

Néctar is González Byass’s accessible Pedro Ximénez expression, made from sun-dried Pedro Ximénez grapes and aged oxidatively in the solera system. The current technical profile records 100% Pedro Ximénez, an average age of 8 years, 15% alcohol and a 75cl format.

Intense ebony in colour, with rich aromas of raisins, figs, dates, honey, syrup and fruit preserve. The palate is very sweet, velvety and smooth, with enough acidity to relieve the sweetness and carry a long, flavourful finish.
