Description
JEREZ: Textbook example of the amazing sweet Pedro Ximenez. Intense dried fruit, raisins, prunes and dates with nutmeg and clove. Unctuous and intense with great balancing acidity. Could pour this over vanilla ice cream.
Made by drying out the already sweet Pedro Ximenez grape on mats in the sun to give a decadent viscous syrupy treat. Tastes like pure raisin juice. Most of these grapes are grown in nearby Montilla-Morilles and then transported to Jerez for winemaking. Why and how this is allowed is a quirk of history. PX is a very different wine to the other sherries and is almost an outlier in itself. Originally used as a darkening and sweetening component of other sherry blends, such decadent Pedro Ximenez is now common as a single varietal that once tasted is never forgotten – at least by your dentist!
Fernando de Castilla’s Classic range is blended with sherries averaging 2-9 years old.
