Lustau Sherry Pedro Ximenez Solera Reserva San Emilio

Pedro Ximénez grapes are laid out in the sun after picking until they are practically raisins. After that the fermentation starts slowly and its halted to maintain all the natural sugars. The resulting wine ages in for 12 years in contact with the air in Jerez de la Frontera. Dark mahogany with iodized edging. Floral and citrus flavors, fruit flavored raisins and spices. Full and long on the palate. Extremely sweet, with a pleasant acidity. Serve at 10 – 12 ° C with rich desserts, cakes and pastries, or pour over vanilla ice cream. Perfect companion to strong blue cheeses. Ideal as a digestive.
