What it pairs with
-
Quality dark chocolate (70%+ cocoa)
The wine's concentrated dark-fruit and coffee notes find a perfect peer in fine bitter chocolate. -
Vanilla bean ice cream
Classic PX pairing; the viscous sweetness and cold dairy create an irresistible contrast. -
Gorgonzola Piccante
Extreme sweetness and viscosity cut through the most pungent blue cheeses.
History
La Bota de Pedro Ximénez editions are single-cask bottlings from old PX soleras in Jerez bodegas, selected by Equipo Navazos for exceptional concentration and complexity. The numbered editions document the unique character of each individual bota , something impossible in commercial blended production.
