(Pedro Jiménez)
Pedro Ximénez is a type of Spanish sherry, as well as the name of the grape that is used to produce it. The grapes are picked when ripe and are then traditionally laid out in the sun—which increases their sugar content. After the grapes are pressed, the grape juice is fermented and fortified before it is left to age using the traditional solera system.
Pedro Ximénez sherry is typically intense and sweet with a thick, velvety texture and aromas that are reminiscent of dried fruit, primarily raisins, dates, and figs, as well as the complementary notes of honey, jam, vanilla, chocolate, and coffee.
These wines are an excellent match with blue and aged cheese, decadent chocolate desserts, ice cream, or dark chocolate. They can also be drizzled over fresh fruit, creamy desserts, or ice cream. Although Pedro Ximénez grapes are mainly grown in Montilla-Moriles D.
O., they are mostly associated with Jerez. If the sherry is at least partially produced in Jerez, it can be labeled as such, while the one entirely produced in Montilla-Moriles will include the name of the region.
