Description
Valdespino Pedro Ximénez El Candado 750ml is a sweet Pedro Ximénez sherry from Valdespino, the Jerez bodega owned by the Estévez family since 1999 and known for single-vineyard sherries. The Pedro Ximénez grapes are dried in the sun on esparto grass mats to concentrate their sugars, gently pressed and partly fermented, then fortified and aged oxidatively for many years in old American oak barrels in the El Candado solera.
