History
Pedro Ximénez Dios Baco is produced from sun-dried PX grapes whose sugars concentrate on esparto mats before pressing and fermentation. The wine is aged through an oxidative solera in American oak at the historic Dios Baco bodega in Jerez, producing a rich and intensely sweet dessert sherry.
