Varietal Pedro Ximenez
Cepage 100% Pedro Ximenez
Winemaking Pedro Ximénez is made by drying the grapes under the hot Spanish sun, concentrating the sweetness. The grapes are then pressed and begin fermentation while fortified to 15%. Because the wine has not completed fermentation, much of the sugars remain where it is aged oxidatively in the traditional solera and criaderas system of oak barrels. The average age of the wine is 8 years.

The Character

Tasting Notes Inky mahogany in color, this Pedro Ximénez is intensely aromatic, with concentrated notes of raisin, fig, date, molasses, and dark caramel. The palate is lush, viscous, and decadently sweet, balanced by enough acidity to keep the wine vibrant and focused. It finishes long and opulent, with lingering flavors of dried fruit, toffee, and cocoa.

About Fernando de Castilla

Producer Story

Bodegas Rey Fernando de Castilla was founded in 1837, purchased and revitalized in 1999 by Jan Pettersen (a Norweigian with 15 years at Osborne). Jan also took over the cellars of Jose Bustamante next door and quickly established Fernando de Castilla as one of the region’s finest small, independent sherry houses. The company specializes in natural, unblended and unfined products as supreme examples of the ancient winemaking traditions of the Jerez region. The vineyards (farmed without pesticides or herbicides) and winery are all located in Jerez, all sherries are estate bottled.
