Fernando de Castilla Antique Pedro Ximenez

THE most indulgent, richly concentrated Pedro Ximenez you ever did try! Crafted from sun-dried Pedro Ximénez grapes and aged in solera for around 30 years. The nose is intensely aromatic with raisins, figs, dates, treacle and dark chocolate. The palate is lusciously sweet and velvety, packed with layers of dried fruit, molasses, coffee and spice, balanced by a gentle freshness that prevents it from becoming cloying. An indulgent wine to savour on its own, or paired with chocolate desserts, poured over ice cream or strong blue cheeses.

The Antique range represents their most prestigious bottlings, combining extended ageing with exceptional concentration and complexity. Revered among sherry lovers, the Antique Pedro Ximénez is considered a benchmark expression of the style.
