Palate: It is very smooth, dense, silky and oily. Its journey through the mouth and throat is not at all heavy, inciting us to take another sip. It has a long aftertaste with chocolate, liquorice, coffee and toffee flavours.
Gastronomy: It combines wonderfully with culant or soufflé type chocolates. It is very agreeable with Christmas sweets and cakes, creamy but not acidic desserts, and it is surprising with smooth blue cheeses, like Roquefort, Gorgonzola or Tresviso and mature goats cheeses. It goes well with Havana cigars
To the senses:. If there is a PX sweet, fresh, old, fruity and not cloying all at a time, this is it. Sun dried grapes produce a very viscous sweet wine which after several years of ageing in barrels ends as a velvety liquid, extraordinarily intense and rich.
Colour: Very dark iodized with hints of ochre and very dense.
Nose: Very intense fruity aromas; raisins, figs and plums with reminiscences of black liquorice and dark roasted smells. Hints of bulrush and straw and touches of dried tomatoes. It evokes memories of industrial, oily and tar aromas.
Pedro Ximénez is made with a type of grape that is used in the making of wines of the same name in our Designation. As a result of the characteristics of the grapes and the conditions of the harvest, a sweet wine is produced. Using the same ageing methods as those of solera wines and by means of oxidative ageing, these wines are very special. It is the youngest of our wines, being an average of 22 years old. This age gives the wine very fresh and intensely sweet raisiny notes, without it being cloying. The roots of Pedro Ximénez Tradición VOS are to be found in a 19th century solera from Jerez.
Serving Temperature: It is more agreeable when drunk slightly chilled (14-15°), although it can also be drunk cold (8-10o), even though it will lose aromas and a little flavour.
Storage: If the bottle is unopened, this wine will remain in perfect condition and even improve with time. Once the bottle has been opened, the wine will remain in perfect condition for up to 12 months, as long as it is kept in the vertical position.
