Hidalgo Pedro Ximenez
Wine Description
Made from 100% Pedro Ximénez (PX) grapes that were sun-dried immediately after harvest to concentrate the sugar levels. Stored in barrels in a special open air porch just outside the bodega, the Hidalgo Pedro Ximenez is another example of a special, unique bottling that reflects the true terroir of its bodega. Sweet, but never cloying, this PX is classic and sophisticated.
