VALDESPINO

Real Tesoro P. Ximenez Viejo

Trust your Taste

Raisin, nuts and caramel give this Pedro Ximénez sherry a rich, pudding-like character. Intensely sweet and velvety, it coats the palate and lingers. Try a small pour when you want a dessert wine with deep dried-fruit flavour.

How this wine feels

This feels dense, silky and very sweet, with almost no drying grip. Raisin and caramel fill the mouth, while nuts add mature detail to the long finish.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
