Pedro Ximenez
Pedro Ximenez
Most commonly associated with the treacle-like, rich Sherry of the same name, the Pedro Ximenez grape is also used to produce crisp white wines, which thanks to their low-acid make for an intriguing wine, but not necessarily a classic one. The chocolatey, thick, sweet Sherries made from Pedro Ximenez are produced by drying the grapes under the hot sun, concentrating their sugars and allowing the skin to raisin, before extracting the sweet juice and fermenting, fortifying and ageing.
