Pedro Ximénez Triana VORS

written by admin

The VORS version of Triana adds approximately thirty-five years of average age to the equation, transforming the accessible sweetness of the young Pedro Ximénez into something far more profound. Sun-dried Pedro Ximénez grapes, arrested fermentation, decades in old American oak: the result is a wine of extraordinary concentration and complexity.

The colour is near-black. The nose is profoundly sweet and complex: crystallised fig, black treacle, ancient raisin, coffee, dark chocolate and a warm, ancient spice note from the very old wood. The palate is richly sweet with a thread of natural acidity providing freshness and structure. The finish is enormously long and warmly complex. An outstanding VORS Pedro Ximénez from a producer best known for Manzanilla, demonstrating the full breadth of Hidalgo’s range.

Alameda (Oloroso Abocado)

written by admin

Alameda is Hidalgo’s Cream-style wine: an Oloroso sweetened with a proportion of Pedro Ximénez to produce an approachable, moderately sweet fortified wine. The Alameda name refers to the tree-lined avenues — alamedas — that are a feature of Andalucían town planning, suggesting a wine for relaxed, convivial moments.

The colour is a deep amber-brown. The nose combines the nutty, oxidative character of old Oloroso with the raisined sweetness of Pedro Ximénez: dark caramel, walnut, dried figs and a warming spice note. The palate has a gentle sweetness and a rounded, glycerol-rich texture with a moderately long finish. An accessible and well-made Cream Sherry from a producer whose more serious wines are among the finest in Sanlúcar.

written by admin

El Maestro Sierra Pedro Ximénez is a natural sweet Sherry made from 100% Pedro Ximénez and aged oxidatively in American oak. The current producer profile records 15% alcohol and identifies it as a traditional Pedro Ximénez from the house’s Jerez soleras.
