  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.

  Medium. The Old Harvest name signals an older, more complex style than the house's standard vintage fortified wines, and the limited production of under 7,500 bottles makes it attractive to collectors of Spanish PX fortified wine.

  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.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve at room temperature in a cognac glass. Pairs well with dark chocolate, cigars or as a digestif on its own after a meal.

  Did You Know?

  The battonage technique - where the lees are stirred regularly - is far more common in Burgundy's white wine cellars than in Spanish brandy production, making Ximénez-Spínola's approach an unusual crossover between two wine traditions.

  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.

  Ximénez-Spínola Exceptional Harvest 2020 is a sweet white wine from an unusually good harvest season, made exclusively from sun-dried Pedro Ximénez grapes.

  Expert's Description

  Ximénez-Spínola Exceptional Harvest 2020 is a Spanish White Wine made exclusively from Pedro Ximénez grapes with an alcohol content of 12.5%. "Exceptional Harvest" marks a vintage where the grapes' ripeness and sugar concentration after sun-drying were particularly outstanding.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose offers apricot, honey and a hint of flowers.

  Palate

  The palate is rich and sweet with a fine balance between fruit and acidity.

  Finish

  The finish is soft and lingering with notes of dried apricot.

  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.

  Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0146

  Cosecha simply means "harvest" in Spanish and refers to a young, vintage-dated edition of the house's classic sweet Pedro Ximénez style - a contrast to the dry Fermentación Lenta from the same house.

  Expert's Description

  Ximénez-Spínola Cosecha Vintage 2022 is a Fortified Wine from Jerez, Spain, with an alcohol content of 13%. The house, run by the ninth generation, José Antonio Zarzana, has worked exclusively with the Pedro Ximénez grape since 1729, making it one of the most specialised producers in the Jerez region. The Cosecha edition is made from grapes sun-dried on mats to concentrate the sugar content, after which the must is partially fermented into a naturally sweet style, distinct from the house's dry Fermentación Lenta.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Raisin, dates and a hint of caramel on the nose.

  Palate

  Sweet and concentrated on the palate with good acid balance.

  Finish

  The finish is long and syrupy.

  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

  Serve chilled at 8-10°C in a sherry glass. Pairs well with olives, almonds or tapas with ham.

  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.

  Item no.: 22227865464-13895

  PX Solera 1918 is the oldest solera at Ximénez-Spínola - 195 barrels laid down in 1918, from which fewer than 10,000 bottles are drawn each year.

  Expert's Description

  Bodegas Ximenez-Spinola PX Solera 1918 is a Fortified Wine from Spain made from Pedro Ximénez, bottled at 15% ABV.

  The wine is a Pedro Ximénez de pasas, where the grapes are sun-dried for up to 21 days before pressing, significantly concentrating the sugar.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Intense raisin, roasted coffee and dark chocolate.

  Palate

  Dominated by sun-dried raisins with notes of dried fig, prune and liquorice.

  Finish

  Item no.: 2227865479-1106-197280322-74

  Ximénez-Spínola Tres Mil Botellas - Spanish for "three thousand bottles" - is an extremely limited brandy, where the name itself tells of the production's rarity.

  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. The bodega, founded in 1729, is primarily known for its Pedro Ximénez fortified wines, but applies the same craftsmanship and patience to its brandy production.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose offers dark caramel, dried figs and a hint of spiced wood.

  Palate

  The palate is concentrated and full with notes of raisin, walnut and a warm, round sweetness.

  Finish

  The finish is very long with lingering notes of dark chocolate and wood.

  Bodegas Ximenez-Spinola Vintage 2019 Fermentacion Lenta Spanish White Wine 75 cl 14%

  Item no.: 2227865479-1106-197280322-71

  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.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve chilled at 8-10°C in a white wine glass. Pairs well with foie gras, hard cheese or nut-based dessert.

  Bodegas Ximenez-Spinola Vintage 2020 Spanish Hedwine 37,5 cl 12%

  Item no.: 2227865479-1106-197280322-66

  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.

  Finish

  The finish is long and preserved-fruit-like with lingering notes of dried fruit.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve at room temperature in a small sherry glass. Pairs well with vanilla ice cream, blue cheese or dark chocolate.

  It takes around a tonne of grapes to produce just 200 litres of must at Ximénez-Spínola, because the sun-drying process causes the grapes to lose about 70% of their original weight.
