Pedro Ximenez Sherry

Bodegas Gutierrez Colosia Sherry PX Pedro Ximenez 75 cl 17%

Item no.: 22227222-887

The Pedro Ximénez grapes are laid out on mats in the sun for up to three weeks until they shrivel into something closer to raisins than grapes - that's the secret behind this sherry's dark sweetness.
Expert's Description
Bodegas Gutierrez Colosia Sherry PX Pedro Ximenez is a Sherry from El Puerto de Santa María, Spain made from 100% Pedro Ximénez grapes, bottled at 17% ABV.

Bodegas Pedro Ximenez-Spinola Old Harvest Spanish Hedwin 50 cl 17%

Item no.: 2227865479-1106-197280322-73

Ximénez-Spínola Old Harvest is a mature Spanish fortified wine, where the name signals a longer maturation period than the house's younger Vintage editions.
Expert's Description
Ximénez-Spínola Old Harvest is a Spanish Fortified Wine made exclusively from Pedro Ximénez grapes with an alcohol content of 17%. The higher alcohol percentage compared to the house's younger vintage editions suggests a longer maturation period, during which the wine has developed extra depth and complexity. The bodega, founded in 1729, sun-dries its grapes for at least 21 days before pressing - a method that significantly concentrates the sugar content and gives the characteristic syrupy sweetness.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose offers dried fig, dark raisin and a hint of tobacco.
Palate
The palate is deep and complex with syrupy sweetness and a full, almost oily texture.
Finish
The finish is very long with lingering notes of dried fruit and wood.
Serving & Food Pairing
Serve at room temperature in a small sherry glass. Pairs well with dark chocolate, cigars or aged hard cheese.

Did You Know?
The older a PX fortified wine becomes, the more the natural sweetness concentrates through evaporation, which can create wines with a sugar content that surpasses even the most classic dessert wine.

Bodegas Pedro Ximenez-Spinola Solera Danesa Brandy 70 cl 42%

Item no.: 2227865479-1106-19722

In Jerez, where the sun warms the sherry casks, the house of Ximénez-Spínola makes a brandy using only the Pedro Ximénez grape, the very same grape used for the district's sweetest sherries. The result is a brandy with a roundness rarely found outside the region.
Expert's Description
Bodegas Pedro Ximenez-Spinola Solera Danesa is a Spanish Brandy, bottled at 42%.
The house of Ximénez-Spínola in Jerez is known for going against the grain: while most Jerez producers work with several grape varieties, this house focuses solely on Pedro Ximénez and has made it its trademark. That focus carries through into the brandy, where the grape's natural roundness and sweet depth take the lead role.
The brandy is aged using the Solera method in former sherry casks, where younger and older vintages are continuously blended through a series of barrels. The name Solera Danesa refers to a particular ageing row in the house's cellars, originally assembled with the Danish market in mind.
The long contact with sherry-seasoned wood adds notes of dried fruit, nuts and spice that support the grape's natural sweetness without overwhelming it.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Dried raisins, walnut and a hint of spiced sherry.
Palate
Round and sweet, with deep fruitiness and an almost creamy texture.
Finish
Long and warm, with lingering notes of dried fig and light oak.

Bodegas Pedro Ximenez-Spinola Vintage 2018 Battonage Spanish Brandy 70 cl 40%

Item no.: 2227865479-1106-197280322-72

Ximénez-Spínola Battonage Vintage 2018 is a Spanish brandy from a bodega otherwise known for its Pedro Ximénez fortified wines.
Expert's Description
Ximénez-Spínola Battonage Vintage 2018 is a Spanish Brandy with an alcohol content of 40%. "Battonage" refers to the technique where the lees are stirred regularly during ageing to add extra body and complexity to the distillate - a method more commonly seen in white wine production, but which Ximénez-Spínola here applies to its brandy. The bodega, founded in 1729, is primarily known for the Pedro Ximénez grape, and this brandy is distilled from the house's own wine base.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose offers caramel, dried fruit and a hint of vanilla.
Palate
The palate is round and full with notes of raisin and roasted nuts.
Finish
The finish is long and warm with lingering sweetness.

Bodegas Pedro Ximenez-Spinola Vintage 2019 Cosecha Spanish Hedwine 50 cl 13%

Item no.: 2227865479-1106-197280322-70

Ximénez-Spínola Cosecha Vintage 2019 is a vintage-dated Spanish fortified wine, where "cosecha" - Spanish for harvest - emphasises that the wine comes from a single vintage rather than a solera blend.
Expert's Description
Ximénez-Spínola Cosecha Vintage 2019 is a Spanish Fortified Wine made exclusively from Pedro Ximénez grapes with an alcohol content of 13%. Unlike many sherries, which are blended through the solera system of vintages, a cosecha wine comes from a single harvest - here 2019 - giving a more direct expression of that particular vintage's weather conditions and grape ripeness. The Ximénez-Spínola bodega, founded in 1729, sun-dries its grapes for at least 21 days before pressing, which significantly concentrates the sugar.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose offers dark raisins, dates and a hint of liquorice.
Palate
The palate is deep and sweet with a full, almost syrupy consistency.
Finish
The finish is long with lingering notes of dried fruit and caramel.
Serving & Food Pairing
Serve at room temperature in a small sherry glass. Pairs well with dark chocolate, blue cheese or as a digestif on its own.

The term "cosecha" differs from solera wines by coming from a single vintage - a style that shows the direct imprint of the grape variety and weather without the smoothing effect that the solera system's blending of several vintages provides.

Bodegas Pedro Ximenez-Spinola Vintage 2021 Fermentacion Lenta Spanish White Wine 75 cl 14%

Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0145

Bodegas Ximénez-Spínola has worked exclusively with a single grape variety since 1729, Pedro Ximénez - a remarkable specialisation in a region otherwise dominated by sherry blends.
Expert's Description
Ximénez-Spínola Fermentación Lenta Vintage 2021 is a White Wine from Jerez, Spain, with an alcohol content of 14%. The house is today run by the ninth generation, José Antonio Zarzana, and is unique in the region for growing only the Pedro Ximénez grape. Fermentación Lenta is a dry wine, made from overripe grapes given 21 extra days on the vine and then slowly fermented over more than 15 days in French oak barrels, with fresh must added daily to keep fermentation going. Because the wine has an alcohol content below 15% and is not fortified, it cannot carry the Sherry DO designation, but instead carries the house's own approved designation, Denominación Varietal Pedro Ximénez. 3,275 bottles of this edition were produced.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Raisin, dried figs and a hint of oak on the nose.
Palate
Complex and dry on the palate despite the intense grape character, with good structure from the oak ageing.
Finish
The finish is long with a hint of spice.
Serving & Food Pairing
Serve at 12-14°C in a white wine glass. Pairs well with mature cheeses, foie gras or enjoyed on its own as an afternoon wine.

Bodegas Ximenez-Spinola Jerez Seco Serie 2 Spanish Sherry 75 cl 17%

Item no.: 2227865479-1106-197280322-75

Ximénez-Spínola Jerez Seco Serie 2 is a dry sherry from a bodega otherwise almost exclusively known for its sweet Pedro Ximénez fortified wines.
Expert's Description
Ximénez-Spínola Jerez Seco Serie 2 is a Spanish Sherry with an alcohol content of 17%. "Seco" means dry, making this release an unusual departure from the bodega's signature style, as Ximénez-Spínola is primarily specialised in the sweet Pedro Ximénez grape. With only 2,592 bottles produced, this is one of the house's rarer and more experimental releases, showing a different side of the bodega's craftsmanship than the classic PX fortified wines.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose offers almond, saline notes and a hint of oxidation.
Palate
The palate is dry and sharp with a nutty complexity and lively acidity.
Finish
The finish is long and saline with lingering almond notes.
Serving & Food Pairing

Did You Know?
Ximénez-Spínola is so closely tied to the sweet PX style that a dry sherry from the house is a genuine rarity - most of the bodega's bottles are sold under the fortified wine designation rather than the dry sherry category.

Expert's Description
Ximénez-Spínola Tres Mil Botellas is a Spanish Brandy with an alcohol content of 40%, distilled by the Ximénez-Spínola bodega in Jerez. The name refers directly to the originally planned production of just 3,000 bottles, making this brandy one of the house's most exclusive spirit releases.

Ximénez-Spínola Fermentación Lenta 2019 is a slowly fermented white wine, where the name directly describes the process behind its concentrated, complex flavour.
Expert's Description
Ximénez-Spínola Fermentación Lenta 2019 is a Spanish White Wine made exclusively from Pedro Ximénez grapes with an alcohol content of 14%. "Fermentación Lenta" means "slow fermentation" and refers to a process where the sun-dried grapes' very high sugar concentration forces the fermentation to proceed over an unusually long period at low temperatures, preserving aromas that would otherwise be lost in a faster fermentation. The result is a deeply complex wine with retained freshness despite the natural sweetness.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose offers dried apricot, honey and a hint of nuts.
Palate
The palate is concentrated and complex with a fine balance between sweetness and acidity.
Finish
The finish is long and nuanced with lingering notes of dried fruit.

Ximénez-Spínola Vintage 2020 is a 100% handcrafted Spanish fortified wine from one of the Jerez area's most respected family bodegas.
Expert's Description
Ximénez-Spínola Vintage 2020 is a Spanish Fortified Wine made exclusively from Pedro Ximénez grapes with an alcohol content of 12%. The Ximénez-Spínola bodega was founded in 1729 and for nearly 300 years has specialised solely in the Pedro Ximénez grape, where other houses spread across several varieties. After harvest, the grapes are sun-dried for at least 21 days - a method called "soleo" - which causes them to lose around 70% of their weight and significantly concentrates the sugar content. The result is a mere 200 litres of must per tonne of grapes, explaining the limited production of 5,075 bottles for this vintage.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose offers dried raisins, fig and a hint of caramel.
Palate
The palate is concentrated and sweet with deep fruitiness and a silky texture.

Lustau Centenario Murillo Pedro Ximénez Sherry 50 cl 17%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278444

The Pedro Ximenez grapes for this sherry are sun-dried on mats outside the bodega until they resemble raisins - that is the secret behind the intense sweetness that defines the style.
Expert's Description
Lustau Centenario Murillo is a Pedro Ximenez Sherry from Jerez, Spain, made from the Pedro Ximenez grape with an alcohol content of 17%. Bodegas Lustau was founded in 1896 by Jose Ruiz-Berdejo as an almacenista, a stockholder who sold sherry on to the large export houses, and has developed its own brands since 1945. Centenario Murillo is a sweet sherry style, where the grapes are sun-dried before pressing and fermentation, significantly concentrating the sugar content.

Lustau East India Solers Cream Sherry 50 cl 20%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197279868

The name East India comes from an era when sherry casks were shipped to India and back - a long sea voyage that inadvertently gave the wine extra maturation and a deeper character, which bodegas have since tried to recreate on purpose.
Expert's Description
Lustau East India Solera Cream is a Cream Sherry from Jerez, Spain, made from Palomino Fino and Pedro Ximenez with an alcohol content of 20%. The style honours the historic practice where, in the 1700s and 1800s, sherry casks were sent by ship to the East Indies and back, exposing the wine to temperature swings that accelerated its maturation. East India Solera Cream is aged today according to the same philosophy at Bodegas Lustau, where a blend of Palomino Fino and Pedro Ximenez gives a creamy, elegant sherry with notably more depth than a regular Cream Sherry.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Full of nuts, raisins and a character reminiscent of creme brulee on the nose.
Palate
Creamy and elegant on the palate with a light sweetness.
Finish
The finish is soft and lingering.
Serving & Food Pairing
Serve at 12-14°C in a sherry glass. Enjoy as an aperitif or with aged cheeses and desserts.

Did You Know?
The East India Sherry style arose because 18th-century trading ships discovered that sherry casks which had crossed the equator several times on long sea voyages tasted markedly better upon return than the casks that had stayed in Jerez.

Lustau Rare Cream Solera Superior Sherry 75 cl 20%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278447

Cream sherry is the style that has historically introduced the most new drinkers to the world of sherry - a soft, accessible blend where Oloroso's fullness meets a pleasant sweetness.
Expert's Description
Lustau Rare Cream Solera Superior is a Cream Sherry from Jerez, Spain, with an alcohol content of 20%. The sherry is based on the Palomino Fino grape, which the vast majority of sherry is made from, and achieves its creamy character by blending an oxidatively aged Oloroso base with a sweeter component, typically from Pedro Ximenez. The designation Solera Superior refers to a higher quality tier within the solera system, where the sherry has had longer to mature and develop complexity.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Soft on the nose, with notes of dried fruit and caramel.
Palate
A lovely balance between acidity and sweetness on the palate, with a full, creamy texture.
Finish
The finish is soft and lingering, with a last hint of nuts.
Serving & Food Pairing
Serve at 12-14°C in a sherry glass. Enjoy as an aperitif or with lightly sweet desserts and bold cheeses.

Lustau San Emilio Pedro Ximenez Sherry 75 cl 17%

Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278448

Some sherries are made to accompany a dessert. San Emilio is made to be the dessert.
Expert's Description
Lustau San Emilio is a Pedro Ximenez Sherry from Jerez, Spain, made from the Pedro Ximenez grape with an alcohol content of 17%. Like the house's other PX sherries, the grapes are sun-dried before pressing and fermentation, concentrating the sugar content to a level that makes the wine almost syrupy. San Emilio is aged at Bodegas Lustau using the solera system, developing a deep, dark colour and an intense dried fruit aroma during ageing, making it one of the house's most dessert-like sherries.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Inviting notes of sweet raisins and prunes on the nose.
Palate
Lovely creamy, rich and very sweet on the palate.
Finish
The finish is long and sticky, with a last note of dark syrup.
Serving & Food Pairing
Serve at 12-14°C in a small sherry glass. Enjoy on its own or as a dessert in itself, perhaps poured over vanilla ice cream.

Williams & Humbert 20 Years Don Guido Solera Especial Pedro Ximénez Sherry 75 cl 18%

Item no.: 22264-3887

Williams & Humbert 20 Year Don Guido Solera Especial Pedro Ximénez Sherry is one of the most luxurious and deeply concentrated PX sherries produced in Jerez.
Expert's Description
Williams & Humbert 20 Year Don Guido is a Spanish Fortified Wine from Jerez with an alcohol content of 18%, made exclusively from Pedro Ximénez grapes. The grapes are sun-dried after harvest to intensify the sugar content and create the characteristic, almost syrupy sweetness for which PX sherry is famous. This Solera Especial has aged for at least 20 years through the solera's systematic blending of vintages, giving a complexity achieved only through decades of slow maturation.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose offers raisins, fig, dark chocolate and a hint of coffee.
Palate
The palate is dark, dense and irresistibly full-bodied with syrupy sweetness and notes of dried fruit.
Finish
The finish is long and concentrated with lingering notes of raisin and chocolate.
Serving & Food Pairing
Serve at room temperature in a small sherry glass. Pairs excellently with blue cheese, dark chocolate or as a digestif on its own after a meal.

Investment Potential
Medium. A 20-year-old Solera Especial from a respected house like Williams & Humbert has both age, craftsmanship and a limited production scope, which traditionally makes this category of PX sherry sought after among collectors.
Did You Know?
The PX grape is traditionally dried on mats in the sun for up to two weeks after harvest, which can concentrate the sugar content so much that the finished sherry can contain over 400 grams of sugar per litre.
