Bodegas Lustau, Pedro Ximénez, San Emilio, Solera Familiar, Jerez, Spain

This wine won a Platinum medal (97 points) at the 2021 Decanter World Wine Awards.

Dark and rich, this sweet sherry from historic producer Bodegas Lustau is made from Pedro Ximénez grapes dried under the hot Spanish sun, concentrating the sweetness to create a thick, dark grape must and that is then fortified and matured in solera. With intense flavours of raisins and molasses, it’s also delicious poured onto ice cream.

Refined, fragrant, sticky Pedro Ximenez sherry with rich, hazelnut and spiced golden raisin fruit.
