Barbadillo Pedro Ximenez - Item Code: 07409
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Barbadillo Pedro Ximenez offers a lush, velvety sweetness that makes it an irresistible choice for after-dinner sipping or special occasions. With an ABV of 19%, this Spanish sherry is crafted from sun-dried Pedro Ximenez grapes in the heart of Jerez, where traditional solera aging imparts depth and complexity. Its syrupy texture and rich character make it a standout among dessert wines.
On the palate, Barbadillo Pedro Ximenez bursts with flavors of dried figs, raisins, molasses, and hints of toffee. These decadent notes create a harmonious match with pungent blue cheese, balancing saltiness with sweetness. It also elevates chocolate desserts by echoing their richness while adding layers of caramelized fruit and spice. This sherry transforms simple pairings into memorable experiences through its luxurious profile and lingering finish.
Producer Information: Barbadillo
Barbadillo is based in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, a historic town in the province of Cádiz, Spain, at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River. Founded in 1821 by Benigno Barbadillo and his cousin Manuel López Barbadillo, the company has remained family-owned for generations. Their production approach centers on traditional methods combined with modern technology, particularly focusing on the unique microclimate of Sanlúcar to age their wines under flor yeast. This environment is essential for developing their signature Manzanilla style within extensive bodegas that allow for optimal maturation and blending.
Beyond their flagship Manzanilla sherries, Barbadillo offers a diverse portfolio that includes white wines made from Palomino Fino and Sauvignon Blanc grapes as well as red wines crafted from Tempranillo and Syrah varietals. The producer also distills brandies using solera aging techniques and has expanded into vermouths infused with local botanicals. Additionally, Barbadillo brews artisanal beers under its own label, incorporating regional ingredients to reflect Andalusian terroir. Their broad range appeals to both traditional sherry enthusiasts and consumers seeking innovative Spanish beverages.

Sherry is a fortified wine originating from the Andalusian region of Spain, specifically from Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and El Puerto de Santa María. It is primarily made from base grapes such as Palomino, Pedro Ximénez, and Muscat of Alexandria. The unique production process involves the addition of grape spirit (aguardiente) after fermentation and utilizes the solera system for aging. Sherry can be categorized into various styles based on sweetness levels: dry options like Fino and Manzanilla; medium styles such as Amontillado and Oloroso; and sweet varieties like Pedro Ximénez.
The flavor profile of Sherry varies significantly across its different styles. Fino and Manzanilla exhibit fresh notes of almonds, green olives, sea breeze, and citrus zest, while Amontillado offers a richer experience with hazelnuts, dried fruits, and spices. Oloroso presents deeper flavors including rich nuts, caramel, and dark chocolate. Sweet Pedro Ximénez is characterized by luscious notes of raisins, figs, and molasses. Each style pairs beautifully with specific foods: Fino/Manzanilla complements tapas like olives or seafood; Amontillado goes well with aged cheeses; Oloroso enhances rich stews or chocolate desserts; while Pedro Ximénez is delightful with desserts or blue cheese.
