Description
In a nutshell:
From Jerez in southern Spain, this raisined, velvety Pedro Ximénez is all about luscious dried figs, toffee, and a hint of coffee, perfectly balanced by its natural sweetness.
The lowdown:
Yes, it's from Jerez, but no, it's not sherry. This is a luscious dessert wine made from Pedro Ximénez, the region's iconic grape. To achieve its intense sweetness, the grapes are dried under the sun for three weeks before being blended with less dehydrated fruit and fermented in American oak to a level of 12% alcohol. The result? A vibrant amber beauty with ripe grape and raisin aromas. Its incredible sweetness is perfectly balanced by bright acidity, making it feel fresh rather than heavy. It's full of indulgent flavours of dates, figs, and raisins that are nothing short of heavenly.
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:
Pair it with a dark chocolate torte or some rich chocolate truffles - the wine's sticky-sweet fig and raisin flavours are just made to mingle with intense, bittersweet chocolate.
Suitable for Vegetarians
