Fernando de Castilla Sherry Pedro Ximénez 15% Vol. 0,75l
£25.33
The Fernando de Castilla Pedro Ximénez Sherry with 15 % vol. is a noble sweet, velvety dessert wine from the heart of Andalusia that impresses with its exceptional concentration, depth and elegance. Made from 100% Pedro Ximénez grapes, which are sun-dried after the harvest to intensify their natural sweetness, the result is a sherry of impressive density and aromatic complexity.
Fernando de Castilla is one of the most renowned sherry houses in Spain and is particularly known for its traditional, artisan qualities. This Pedro Ximénez matures in an elaborate Solera system in old oak barrels, where it develops its velvety texture and complex spectrum of flavours over the years. The result is a deep dark, almost opaque sherry with unrivalled depth – a real pleasure for lovers of sweet, structured wines.
Tasting NoteIn the glass, the sherry is a dense mahogany brown with an amber-coloured rim. The nose is dominated by intense aromas of sultanas, dates, figs, molasses and cocoa, accompanied by coffee, liquorice and fine oak spice. On the palate, it is lush, velvety and concentrated, with an impressive sweetness that is perfectly balanced by natural freshness and a fine, almost salty depth. The finish is opulent, long and complex, with notes of dried fruit, dark caramel and mocha.
This Pedro Ximénez is ideal as a dessert wine – on its own, slightly chilled or as a luxurious accompaniment to dark chocolate, chocolate tart, vanilla ice cream, blue cheese or dried fruit with nuts. It also unfolds its full potential over ice cream, in chocolate sauces or with strong chocolate desserts. Fernando de Castilla Pedro Ximénez is an expressive, noble sweet sherry that is just as impressive as a soloist as it is as a harmonious finish to great menus.
