The MARISOL RUBIO - CIPMA I is an exceptional, oak-aged white wine from Toledo (Castilla-La Mancha) that reveals the true potential of the Pedro Ximénez (PX) grape. Forget sweet sherry; this is PX in its most elegant, dry, and gastronomic guise. A unique 'Fermentado en Barrica' (fermented in barrel) wine in a limited, numbered edition.
