Description
In a nutshell:
An incredible and different off-dry white wine from Jerez made entirely from Pedro Ximenez.
The lowdown:
Bodegas Ximenez-Spinola are unique in only making wines from the Pedro Ximenez grape, which they have been doing for 300 years. The grapes for this wine have been left on the vine for an extra 21 days and therefore acquire a natural sweetness without becoming overly so. After fermentation the wine is then aged for 4 months on its lees in old American oak barrels before bottling with no more than 25,000 bottles produced a year. Intense aromas of figs raisins and prunes with pastry notes lead onto a rich and weighty palate but with great natural acidity and sweetness with ripe stone fruit flavours. A long and elegant finish.
When to drink:
An intriguing and individual wine this would pair well with rich pork and seafood dishes.
Suitable for Vegetarians
