Sandeman Royal Ambrosante Pedro Ximenez 20 Year Old Overview

Tasting Notes

Sandeman Royal Ambrosante Pedro Ximenez 20 Year Old Sherry

A richly indulgent expression of traditional Jerez winemaking, aged through an extensive solera system that traces its origins back to 1894. Crafted from naturally sun-dried Pedro Ximenez grapes, the wine achieves its signature depth through slow oxidative ageing and long maturation in seasoned oak casks.

The result is a deeply concentrated, dessert-style sherry that combines power, sweetness and remarkable smoothness in a style that reflects Sandeman’s historic expertise in fortified wines.

Tasting Profile:

  • Appearance: Deep, opaque mahogany with a dense, almost syrup-like viscosity.
  • Nose: Highly aromatic and intense, showing layers of raisined fruit, fig, date syrup and molasses. Beneath the richness are notes of caramel, cocoa, roasted nuts and subtle coffee tones.
  • Palate: Lush, full-bodied and velvety in texture. Concentrated flavours of dried fruits dominate, supported by treacle, toffee, and dark chocolate. The sweetness is broad but well-structured, with gentle acidity providing balance and lift.
  • Finish: Exceptionally long and warming, with lingering impressions of fig syrup, cocoa, and toasted caramel.

Occasion & Buyer Profile

Suited to refined after‑dinner moments and generous dessert pairings. Appeals to drinkers who enjoy depth and sweetness balanced by maturity. It is a confident choice for evening sipping, sharing at the end of a meal, or as a thoughtful gift for those who appreciate richly aged Sherry styles.

FAQ's For Sandeman Royal Ambrosante Pedro Ximenez 20 Year Old

How is it made?

The grapes are naturally raisined in the sun, concentrating sugars and flavour. Their juice is so sweet that fermentation cannot complete, leaving a treacle‑like must that is then fortified with grape spirit.

The wine is aged in the historic Sandeman solera dating back to 1894, where it matures for an average of 20 years. This long oxidative ageing develops its deep colour, velvety texture and intense aromatic richness.

How should I store this wine?

Store the bottle upright in a cool, dark place at a steady 12–16°C, away from heat and light. PX sherries are stable and can be kept for long periods unopened. Once opened, it remains fresh for 6–8 weeks if sealed and stored upright.

How shall I serve this sherry?

Serve chilled at 10–12°C in a small wine glass or dessert‑wine glass to highlight its aromatic depth and velvety sweetness. This style is ideal for slow sipping after a meal or alongside rich desserts.

Why choose Sandeman?
