Description
In a nutshell:
A vibrant, raisined sweet wine made with Pedro Ximenez.
The lowdown:
Made by PX specialists Ximenez-Spinola this is unusual in that this is a sweet unfortified wine and not a sherry. After harvest the grapes are left to dry outside in the sun for at least 3 weeks, this concentrates the flavours with 1000kg of fruit yielding just 200kg of must. Blended with less dehydrated grapes in the winery and then fermented in American oak to reach only 12% alcohol. Vibrant amber in colour with ripe grape and raisin notes on the nose. A fresh and velvety palate with flavours of dates, figs and raisins.
The Producer:
Ximénez-Spínola is a winery based in Jerez and was founded by Philipe Antonio Zarzana Spinola in 1729. The winery's usp is that there aren't many who focus on only one varietal, but that is precisely what Bodegas Ximénez-Spínola have done since their foundation. They've worked solely with the Pedro Ximénez variety (often known by its initials 'PX') to produce a selection of still and dessert wines, sherries and vinegar. After nearly 3 centuries, with the winery remaining in the hands of the founding family, they show the same dedication to the solera system as they always have. Their vineyards are located in prime locations for growing Pedro Ximénez - between the towns of Jerez, Sanlúcar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa María.
When to drink:
A superb sweet wine that works perfectly with dark chocolate.
Suitable for Vegetarians
