Frequently Asked Questions About Pedro Ximenez Sherry
What is Pedro Ximenez Sherry?
A sweet Spanish sherry made from sun‑dried PX grapes, known for intense flavours of raisins, figs and molasses.
How sweet is is it?
PX is one of the sweetest wine styles in the world, often with natural sugar levels over 400g/L.
What does it pair well with?
It’s excellent with chocolate desserts, blue cheese, sticky toffee pudding or simply poured over vanilla ice cream.
Is Pedro Ximenez the same as sherry?
Yes - PX is a style of sherry, but it’s distinct for its sweetness and dried‑fruit character.
How should this sherry be served?
It is best served slightly chilled, usually around 12–14°C. This temperature softens the sweetness and brings out the deeper flavours of figs, toffee and dark chocolate. It’s a style that doesn’t need decanting, and once opened, a bottle will keep well for several weeks if stored in a cool, dark place.
How should it be stored?
It is one of the easiest sherries to store. Keep the bottle upright in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight or heat. Thanks to its natural sweetness and concentration, PX is far more stable than drier styles, so it doesn’t require laying down or special conditions. Once opened, simply reseal and refrigerate to keep it in good condition for several weeks.
