Valdespino EL Candado Pedro Ximenez Sherry

Candado’ is the Spanish word for ‘padlock’, and each bottle is sealed with one as per tradition to prevent anyone from stealing a glass. Pedro Ximénez grapes are picked
extra ripe and sundried till they become raisins. The wine is then aged under the soleras and criaderas system which gives it a very dark colour and intense aromas of raisins,
dried figs, and dates with subtle hints of coffee. On the palate it is luscious, and sweet, which makes it an excellent partner for desserts, vanilla ice cream and surprisingly, blue cheese. Enjoy at 120C-140C.
