Ximenez Spinola Pedro Ximénez Old Harvest Solera

Finn OBrien - Solid choice for a dinner party

7/10

Brought this to a friend's birthday dinner and it went down well with everyone. Nice structure to it and the acidity keeps it interesting through a long meal. Not the most exciting wine I've ever had but genuinely good and easy to drink.

Kwame Mensah - Good but not sure about the price

6/10

It's a decent wine, don't get me wrong. Smooth finish and nice balanced fruit. But nearly £30 feels a bit steep for what you're getting — I've had Spanish reds at £20 that I enjoyed just as much.

Haruki Sato - Bought two more bottles

8/10

This is one of those wines where you keep going back to the glass. Really well put together — good fruit, proper structure, and that finish just fades out so naturally. Bought it for a quiet Friday night in and ended up ordering two more the next day. At 14% it sneaks up on you though, fair warning!

Diana Cruz - Really impressed with this one

8/10

Picked this up after the guy at my local wine shop recommended it. The nose hits you straight away — really expressive and aromatic. Loads of depth and complexity, especially after it had been open for an hour or so. At under £30 I'd definitely buy it again.

Natasha Volkov - Expected more honestly

5/10

Maybe I built it up too much in my head but this didn't blow me away. It's fine — clean finish, nothing offensive about it at all. Just felt like it was missing that wow factor for the price point. My partner liked it more than I did though so maybe it's just me.

Sophie Brennan - My new go-to for steak night

8/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu a few months back and tracked down a bottle online. That mid-palate depth is something else, layers of flavour that keep unfolding. Had it with a ribeye and it was perfect. The finish just lingers in the best way.

Omar Diallo - Pleasant surprise

7/10

Not gonna lie, I'd never heard of Ximenez Spinola before but I'm glad I gave it a go. It's confident without being overwhelming — the aromatics are lovely and the acidity stops it feeling too heavy. Would happily have another glass.
