Antique Pedro Ximénez

Antique Pedro Ximénez is an intense mahogany wine with aromas of pacified fruit. In the mouth it is a very sweet and velvety wine, enveloping and with an outstanding balance between acidity and sugar. The previously sun-dried Pedro Ximénez grapes are pressed and left to begin fermenting and at the beginning wine alcohol is added to a final graduation of 15°. Since its fermentation has not been completed, a large part of the sugars of the grapes remain present in this must that goes to its traditional aging system of criaderas and soleras. They are bottled from the solera itself, without undergoing any type of filtering or subsequent treatment, thus maintaining all their purity.
