Sandeman PEDRO XIMÉNEZ Superior Natural Sweet Sherry Jerez 17% ABV 0.5l
£24.18
Sandeman PEDRO XIMÉNEZ Superior Natural Sweet Sherry Jerez 17 % is an intensely sweet Pedro Ximénez sherry from Jerez, which impressively reflects the opulent style of this traditional Andalusian sherry speciality. Produced from the Pedro Ximénez grape variety and available in a 0.5-litre bottle, this Natural Sweet Sherry bears the Protected Designation of Origin (DO) Jerez-Xérès-Sherry. Pedro Ximénez is synonymous with particularly concentrated sweet wines, characterised by a pronounced natural fruitiness. This style is particularly evident in the Sandeman: the total sugar content is at least 375 g/l, giving the sherry an exceptionally rich and concentrated character.
Despite its pronounced sweetness, the Sandeman Pedro Ximénez Superior Natural Sweet Sherry possesses a well-defined acidity profile. The total acidity is 3.9 g/l, calculated as tartaric acid, with a pH of 3.5. These analytical values complement the wine’s powerful, full-bodied character and emphasise the interplay of sweetness, fruit concentration and structure. As a sweet sherry from Spain, it is particularly well-suited to lovers of intense dessert wines, as well as being a distinctive alternative to other aged sweet wines. The combination of Pedro Ximénez grapes, a minimum of 375 g/l total sugar and its renowned origin in Jerez, Andalusia, makes it a particularly rich sherry speciality.
Tasting NoteIn the glass, Sandeman Pedro Ximénez Sherry displays a very dark, almost opaque mahogany hue. On the nose, it is intense and fragrant, with concentrated notes of ripe fruit. On the palate, it is full-bodied, powerful, velvety and distinctly sweet, with intense raisin flavours blending with complex notes of maturity. The finish is exceptionally long-lasting, concentrated and characterised by a rich depth of fruit.
Residual sugar: 375 g/l
Sandeman Pedro Ximénez Natural Sweet Sherry is ideal as a dessert wine or digestif and should be served slightly chilled. It pairs particularly well with chocolate desserts, vanilla ice cream, crème brûlée, nutty biscuits and desserts featuring dried fruit. Its intense sweetness also provides an intriguing contrast to the savoury saltiness of strong blue-veined cheeses. Traditionally, Pedro Ximénez sherry can also be served in small quantities over vanilla ice cream.
