The Pedro Ximénez (PX) is a southern Spanish grape primarily used to make Sherry slightly sweeter. Therefore, the bodegas let it dry in the hot sun for a while after harvesting, so that the remaining liquid becomes sweeter. According to an unlikely legend, it originated in the Netherlands.
According to an improbable legend, it originates from the Netherlands. A Spanish soldier is said to have brought Pedro Ximénez from the Netherlands in the 17th century. A nice story, but it is highly doubtful whether it is a true story.
Sherry is also made from pure PX. Often as a seductive dessert wine. With a velvety, thick mouthfeel and a taste of raisins. There are very old examples, which are particularly complex and rich in flavor.
We currently have two wines made from the Pedro Ximénez grape in our range. You can view our Pedro Ximénez wines here.
