Valdespino El Candado Pedro Ximénez Sherry - 75cl
Valdespino El Candado Pedro Ximénez (PX) is a celebrated craft Spanish sweet PX sherry — produced from sun-dried Pedro Ximénez grapes (raisined on esparto mats in the Andalusian sun before pressing, concentrating the natural sugars into an intensely sweet must). Aged in oak solera. Distinctive for its iconic padlock ("candado") medallion bottle.
From Valdespino — one of Jerez's most prestigious traditional sherry houses.
A serious craft Spanish PX sherry — perfect as dessert wine with vanilla ice cream, dark chocolate, blue cheese, or simply over ice as nightcap.
