Tasting note
Luscious Pedro Ximénez, the sweet, black sherry grape; this is brimming with treacle, toffee, raisins and prunes, the palate overflowing in a sweet stream of figs and caramel.
Viticulture
Pedro Ximénez Viejo ‘Triana’ is produced with grapes that are initially allowed to dry in the sun on straw mats, concentrating the sweetness of the grape juice. They are then pressed and vinified, before long ageing in soleras of American oak. The resultant wine is has a intense dark treacle colour and a rich and luscious texture.

Food Match
Excellent with nuts in particular, but also suits soft cheeses and crème caramel. Similarly superb on its own. Do not over chill in order to appreciate the more delicate flavours.
