About this product
ABOUT PEDRO XIMÉNEZ C11
Pedro Ximénez C11 is a luscious sweet wine celebrated for
its intense fruit concentration and velvety texture. Made
exclusively from Pedro Ximénez grapes grown in the Montilla-
Moriles region, this wine is produced using traditional sun-
drying (asoleo) techniques that concentrate sugars and
flavors naturally. The wine is then fortified and aged in
American oak barrels using historic PX soleras, which impart
complexity and a smooth, elegant finish.
TASTING NOTES
Sweet and youthful with rich compote fruit flavors such as
dried apricots, dates, fig bread, and honey.
SOIL
The Pedro Ximénez grapes used for this wine grow in the
Montilla-Moriles region, rooted in Albariza soil, a porous,
calcareous, and chalky soil that plays a crucial role in the
development of the vine. This soil type reflects sunlight and
maintains cool temperatures around the vine roots, helping
to preserve acidity and promote the concentration of sugars.
Its excellent moisture retention supports the vine during hot
summers, contributing to the intense, rich character and
distinctive minerality of the Pedro Ximénez C11.
WINEMAKING
Grapes undergo sun-drying (asoleo) for two weeks to
concentrate sugars. The fortified mistela is aged in American
oak barrels within ancient Pedro Ximénez soleras. It follows
a 2-tier solera system with an average age of 5 years and
two annual sacas.
