What it pairs with

  • Helado de vainilla (vanilla ice cream)
    Classic Jerez PX-over-ice-cream service.
  • Marquesa de chocolate (chocolate cake)
    Dark raisin and caramel notes of PX amplify a rich chocolate cake.
  • Blue cheese
    PX sweetness provides classic contrast with pungent blue-veined cheeses.

History

Urium's Pedro Ximénez is made from sun-dried PX grapes, concentrated on mats before pressing and fermentation. The small artisan bodega ages the wine through an oxidative solera in old American oak butts, maintaining the traditional Jerez approach to PX production in limited quantities.
