Ximenez-Spinola PX Vintage 2021 37,5 cl.

After harvesting, the grapes are dried outside in the sun for at least three weeks. The 1000 kilos of grapes become only 200 kilos of really concentrated must, which is mixed with less dehydrated grapes in the vineyard. The wine is then fermented in American oak to reach only 12% alcohol. A fantastic, sweet wine that works perfectly with dark chocolate.

Beautiful amber color in the glass and with an intense aroma of ripe grapes and raisins. Fresh and velvety taste with flavors of dates, figs and raisins in a wonderful, very authentic southern Spanish delight.

About Bodegas Ximénez-Spínola
Founded in 1729 by Phelipe Zarzana Spinola, the Ximénez-Spínola winery was dedicated from the outset to exclusively producing Pedro Ximenez. At the time, the winery bottled the wine under the name Zarzana Spínola, but as this name was something of a challenge, not to mention impossible to pronounce in English, a large English customer demanded that this be changed to Ximénez-Spínola, which was subsequently have done.

Today, wines are still made exclusively at Pedro Ximénez, and although they are extremely traditional in their vinification, they try to experiment with the type of grape, so that they do not only make sherry. One example is Late Harvest, which is the only one of its kind in the district.

It was Phelipe Zarzana Spínola who in 1729 founded Zarzana-Spínola, which today is known as Ximénez-Spínola, with the aim of exclusively cultivating Pedro Ximénez. To this day, only the Pedro-Ximénez grape is produced at Ximénez-Spínola, and the wine is aged in 500-liter oak barrels, also known as Jerez export barrels. However, Ximénez-Spínola also implements new measures, e.g. they are the only ones in their district to try a Late Harvest in addition to the traditional sherry.
