Bodegas Dios Baco Pedro Ximenez

Bodegas Dios Baco is one of Jerez's most respected traditional producers, crafting a full range of classic sherry styles with an emphasis on authenticity and terroir. The Pedro Ximénez is made from sun-dried PX grapes — a process that concentrates the natural sugars to extraordinary levels — and aged for approximately 19 years in the solera system, developing the intense, complex character that makes this one of the world's great dessert wines.

About This Wine

A powerful, luscious Pedro Ximénez aged for around 19 years — one of the most indulgent wine styles in the world. Intensely sweet, rich, and complex, it is wonderful on its own, superb with cheese, and legendary poured over vanilla ice cream.

Finish: Intense and warm with a hint of citrus and an extraordinarily long close

Food Pairing
