Gonzalez Byass Nectar Pedro Ximenez Sherry
The Pedro Ximenez grapes are harvested late and laid out on esparto mats in the vineyard, where they dry in the sun for up to two weeks. During this period, the grapes lose around 40% of their water content, concentrating their natural sugars.
Once raisined, the grapes undergo a strong press to extract the remaining juice. Fermentation begins but naturally stops at around 7% ABV due to the high sugar content. The wine is then fortified to 15% ABV and placed into the nectar solera, where it ages in casks for an average of 8 years following the traditional solera system.
- Gonzalez Byass Nectar pedro ximenez sherry shows an intense ebony colour
- The nose has rich aromas of raisins, figs and dates accompanied by honey, syrup and fruit preserve
- On the palate it is velvety and smooth with good acidity which alleviates the sweetness
Serve slightly chilled in a small wine glass and pair with chocolate desserts, fruit cake, or pour over ice cream.
