Ximenez-Spinola Sherry

When a major English customer found the name Zarzana Spinola impossible to pronounce, he asked the bodega to change it - and that's how Ximenez-Spinola got the name the world knows today. Behind the name change lies one of Jerez's most specialised houses, dedicated entirely to the Pedro Ximénez grape.

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

Item no.: 2227865479-1106-19722

From the traditional house of Ximenez-Spinola in Jerez comes this unique brandy, crafted with a focus on quality and craftsmanship rather than mass production. The house is renowned for its exclusive use of the Pedro Ximénez grape, and this brandy is also based on it, providing a distinctive roundness and sweet depth.

The brandy is aged using the Solera method in former sherry casks, adding notes of dried fruit, nuts, and spices. The name “Solera Danesa” refers to a special line of ageing casks in the winery’s cellars, where the brandy develops its characteristic fullness and complexity.

A brandy for true connoisseurs – perfect for slow enjoyment after a fine meal, ideally paired with a cigar or a piece of dark chocolate.

About Ximenez-Spinola Sherry

Ximenez-Spinola is a bodega with an unusually narrow focus: since its founding, the house has produced wines and sherry exclusively from the Pedro Ximénez grape, unlike most other Jerez houses that work across a broader range of styles. That makes Ximenez-Spinola an easy place for beginners to encounter PX sherry's intense, dark sweetness in its purest form, while the experimental Late Harvest release - the only one of its kind in the district - gives more experienced sherry lövers something truly rare to taste.

History & Background

Ximenez-Spinola was founded in 1729 by Phelipe Zarzana Spinola and was from the start dedicated exclusively to producing Pedro Ximénez. The vineyard originally bottled its wine under the name Zarzana Spinola, but a major English customer found the name too hard to pronounce and demanded a change - leading to the current name, Ximenez-Spinola. The house still produces exclusively from the Pedro Ximénez grape today, though it has since ventured into experiments with the style while preserving the traditional vinification process.

Production & Style

The Pedro Ximénez grapes are sun-dried after harvest for several weeks, significantly concentrating the sugar content before the grapes are pressed and fermented. The result is a naturally very sweet, dark sherry, which then matures using the traditional solera method, where younger and older vintages are blended through a system of stacked casks. The Late Harvest release represents an experiment beyond the classic PX styles, where the grapes are given even longer to concentrate before pressing.

Signature Style

Sweet, Dark, Intense
Raisins, fig and a thick, syrupy sweetness define Ximenez-Spinola's Pedro Ximénez sherry - a style almost thick enough to cut with a knife.
