Pedro Ximénez El Candado

Bodega Valdespino is one of the oldest bodegas in Jérez, originating in 1264, when King Alfonso X gave Don Alfonso Valdespino the gift of land in the City of Jérez.  In 1999, Valdespino was bought by Grupo Estévez who were able to fund and maintain the traditional methods for which Valdespino is famous. Valdespino Sherries remain among the very best quality available, and Inocente is still one the best Fino in the market, as well as being the only Sherry to be produced from the grapes of a single vineyard. 

Pedro Ximénez is obtained from the overly ripe grapes of the same name which are dried in the sun to obtain a grape juice with an exceptionally high concentration of sugar. Its ageing process, which is exclusively oxidative, gives the wine a progressive aromatic concentration and greater complexity, whilst fully preserving the characteristic freshness of the variety. 

Valdespino Pedro Ximénez El Candado is a sweet wine with a very intense color and notes of raisins accompanied by spices on the nose, with an intense, unctuous and fruity mid-palate. A sweet wine with an elegant aroma.
