Pedro Ximénez wine is obtained from grapes of the same name which undergo a traditional process known as “sunning”; whereby the fruit turns to raisins. Once the Pedro Ximénez grapes have been pressed, the must is fortified with wine-based distilled spirit to bring the alcohol content up to 17.5%. It is then matured in American oak barrels following the traditional Jerez system of soleras and criaderas. This ageing or crianza is achieved through oxidation of the wine whilst in barrel and racking within each tier of the criadera.

TASTING NOTESVery dark mahogany colour and aromas reminiscent of plums, raisins and chocolate against a background of noble oak. Velvety and sweet on the palate.
Long finish with the predominant retro nasal aroma being that of raisins.

  • Mahogany colour
  • Nuances of plums, raisins and chocolate
  • Unctuous and smooth on the palate with a lingering finish. A vigorous and well-balanced wine.
