An enticing mellow deep golden colour, with exceptional aromas from the sun dried grapes; notes of orange peel and herbs. Smooth, round and intense on the palate with currants, dried apricots, toasted wood and immense concentration of fruit on the palate.

Who needs dessert with a wine like this! But if you must, pair with rich sweet pastry tarts or aged Manchego or Cabra Andazul, or similar blue cheese.

There are not many wineries that have built their success by focusing on just one grape variety, let alone one that has been permanently out of fashion, but that is precisely what Bodegas Ximnez-Spnola have done since 1729.

Working solely with Pedro Ximnez, they produce a selection of fascinating dry wine, dessert wine and sherry. However, there are not many wineries with such immense history and deep knowledge of Pedro Ximnez either, making them true masters of the grape and producer of some truly exceptional wines.
