What it pairs with

  • Vanilla ice cream
    Classic PX pairing: drizzled over cold vanilla creates the archetypal Jerez dessert.
  • Chocolate cake
    The sweet raisin and chocolate notes amplify dark chocolate baking.
  • Blue cheese
    PX sweetness provides contrast to pungent blue-veined cheese.

History

Páez Morilla's Pedro Ximénez is produced from sun-dried PX grapes aged through an oxidative solera in the small Jerez family bodega. The wine represents the classic small-scale almacenista PX that was historically common across the Jerez triangle before consolidation into larger houses.
