History
Bodegas Robles PX is produced from Pedro Ximénez grapes grown organically in the Montilla region, where the variety is native and produces the grapes that dry most readily on esparto mats. The organic certification from a sherry-category producer is unusual and positions Robles PX as a premium alternative for consumers seeking environmentally certified fortified wines.
