What it pairs with

  • Vanilla ice cream (drizzled)
    PX drizzled over cold vanilla is the quintessential Jerez dessert service.
  • Dark chocolate mousse
    Coffee and dark-fruit notes in the wine resonate with intense chocolate desserts.
  • Gorgonzola with honey
    The extreme sweetness and viscosity of PX contrast with pungent blue cheese.

History

El Maestro Sierra's Pedro Ximénez is made from sun-dried PX grapes whose sugars are concentrated before pressing and fermentation. The solera at this small historic bodega ages the wine in American oak through fully oxidative conditions, producing a wine that reflects the old-fashioned traditions of Jerez PX production.
