Description
Pedro Ximénez (often abbreviated as PX) is a sweet, fortified wine primarily produced in Spain, especially in the regions of Jerez (Sherry) and Montilla-Moriles. It is made from the Pedro Ximénez grape, which is sun-dried to concentrate its sugars before fermentation. The result is a wine that is intensely sweet, rich, and dark, with a syrupy texture.
Often described as "dessert in a glass," PX wines are bursting with flavors of raisins, molasses, dried figs, caramel, chocolate, and nuts like toasted almonds or hazelnuts. The wine’s sweetness is balanced by its complex and layered profile, making it a luxurious treat for the palate. Its appearance is equally enticing, typically dark brown or black with a glossy, dense consistency that clings to the glass.
There are many ways to enjoy Pedro Ximénez. It can be savored on its own as a dessert or an after-dinner indulgence. It pairs wonderfully with foods like blue cheese, vanilla ice cream, or rich chocolate desserts. Additionally, PX is often used as an ingredient to drizzle over sweets or to enhance sauces, thanks to its thick, syrupy nature.
One of the most interesting aspects of Pedro Ximénez wine is how it achieves its deep, concentrated sweetness. The grapes are dried under the sun in a process called "asoleo," which turns them into raisin-like clusters before they are pressed. This traditional method creates a unique and powerful wine experience that is perfect for special occasions or for those who love rich, sweet flavors. If you’re trying it for the first time, start with a small pour—it’s an indulgence you won’t forget!
The 1993 Toro Albala PX is our best selling 1993 wine and makes a fabulous gift for a 30th Anniversary. This sweet wine from Toro Albala is made from the Pedro Ximenez grapes that have been dried on mats so that all the sweetness is concentrated in the wine. With a residual sugar content of nearly 400g/litre this is dessert heaven in a glass! The nose is complex with layers of dried fruits, dates, figs, plums, raisins, coffee, mango and chocolate. The palate is immense and the sugar is balanced by a structured acidity that keeps the sweetness in check. The experience concludes with a never-ending finish. 95/100 TC - Highly recommended!
This wine will keep for many decades, and once opened can be enjoyed for many months when kept in the fridge.
An authentic artisanal gem elaborated with Pedro Ximénez grapes, harvested in 1993 with temperatures that reached 45°C, following the traditional grape raising system. An exceptional white wine that has aged in oak butts and has been bottled in the most optimal moment. It has been awarded with the Grand Gold Mundus Vinis and 95 Robert Parker points.
