The Equipo Navazos La Bota No. 76 Pedro Ximénez Jerez NV is a richly concentrated sweet fortified wine from Jerez in Andalucía, Spain, crafted from the traditional Pedro Ximénez grape variety. Known for its deep colour, intense sweetness and complex dried-fruit character, this distinctive Sherry reflects the richness developed through traditional oxidative ageing. The nose reveals aromas of dried figs, raisins, dates and dark caramel, complemented by notes of roasted coffee, molasses, toasted walnuts, dark chocolate and subtle woody spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and intensely sweet, with a dense, velvety texture balanced by gentle acidity and a subtle savoury bitterness. Concentrated flavours of raisin syrup, fig preserve, black treacle and dried plums unfold alongside hints of espresso, bitter chocolate, roasted hazelnuts and liquorice. Its remarkable richness is supported by layers of oxidative complexity, creating a deeply textured and persistent profile. The finish is exceptionally long, leaving lingering impressions of dried fruit, dark toffee, roasted coffee and warm spice.
