Pedro Ximénez is a white wine grape variety that is also known by the terms “Pedro Gimenez” or “PX.” This variety is cultivated in South America and is said to have been introduced in the Canary Islands before being transported to Germany. It is said that the variety was introduced to Jerez by a soldier names Pedro Ximenez, who served in the Navy of King Charles the Fifth. The “Pedro Gimenez” variety is the most planted grape in Argentina and is used to craft fortified wines in the region of Jerez. This variety however, is different from the variety grown in Spain. The grape type is grown in Australia for Apera wines and can be blended to craft dessert wines. It is also used in Chile, Spain and is grown sparsely in California. The Pedro Ximénez variety features small round berries that are thin-skinned. Pedro Ximenez in Argentina produces fruit earlier in the year and contains leaves with three lobes. Wine made from the Pedro Ximenez grape typically pairs well with sweet desserts, such as rice pudding, caramel, an ice cream sundae, or Asian black sticky rice. The wines crafted typically use a process of drying out the grapes until they are almost raisin-like, and then taking the juice through other fermentation and aging processes. The taste of Pedro Ximenez features figs, dried fruits, or toffee.

The grapes undergo a soft crushing and destemming leading to a clear must. This must ferments in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 26°C and macerates for 20-25 days. After racking, the wine undergoes a lengthy maturation in oak barrels, which is continued with a lengthy bottle-ageing. Bottle-ageing confers the wine’s final character, at which time the wine is sent to market and from there to consumer tables.
