Pedro Ximénez Vino Dulce Natural 0,5 l - Emilio Hidalgo

The Pedro Ximénez Vino Dulce Natural from Emilio Hidalgo is a sweet sherry and presents itself in a dark mahogany with golden highlights in the glass.

The expressive bouquet is carried by fruity aromas of dried fruits (apricots) and floral hints. On the palate, this sherry is wonderfully concentrated and reveals intense aromas of raisins. The oily texture promises a fascinating drinking experience when drunk pure.

Vinification of the Emilio Hidalgo Pedro Ximénez

The hand-picked grapes are destemmed, gently pressed and the resulting must fermented at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. The young wine is then drawn off, sprinkled on and aged in American oak barrels.

Once the wine has matured without yeast flor, it is transferred to the traditional Solera system, in which the same type of sherry is matured in barrels arranged one above the other. In the lower barrels (Solera) the oldest wines are stored, while in the upper rows (Criaderas) the youngest wines are stored. The sherry intended for sale is always taken from the lower barrels. However, only a small part (a maximum of one third) is removed and the part removed is then filled with sherry from the upper rows. The whole principle is continued up to the top barrels, where the young wine, the must, is added to the sherry. The oloroso produced under oxidative influence is then mixed with a naturally sweet wine.
