Wine Description

Made from 100% Pedro Ximénez (PX) grapes that were sun-dried immediately after harvest to concentrate the sugar levels.  Stored in barrels in a special open air porch just outside the bodega, the Hidalgo Pedro  Ximenez is another example of a special, unique bottling that reflects the true terroir of its bodega.  Sweet, but never cloying, this PX is classic and sophisticated. 

Tasting Notes

Aromas of maple, raisins and chocolate make this the ultimate after-dinner drink. Drink with blue veined cheeses and experience a classic pairing. Rich, sweet and mouth-filling yet true to the elegant, refined style that marks all Hidalgo wines.
