Hidalgo Pedro Ximenez

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.

POINTS
“Dark mahogany in color, this very sweet, unctuous wine reveals ripe dates, dark caramel, bitter orange peel, and milk chocolate. Soft on the attack, the palate is extremely rich, finishing very long with liquid date and caramel notes. Made of 100% Pedro Ximénez grapes that are sun-dried after harvesting. Alc 15%, RS 427 g/l, TA 3.6 g/l.”
International Wine Review
In “The Best Food, Wine Pairings to get in the mood for Valentine’s Day,” writer Fred Tasker suggests ditching the restaurant crowd for enjoying romantic food and wine pairings in the comfort of your own home. Included in Tasker’s recommendations is the EMILIO HIDALGO Pedro Ximenez NV, which he calls, “rich, viscous, creamy ultra-sweet but crisp, with flavors of burnt honey, raisins and toffee.”
