Hidalgo La Gitana Pedro Ximénez Triana is a natural sweet wine from Jerez Spain. Sherry made through oxidative aging. The best characteristics come from this grape variety used for vinification. The grape from which the must comes for this Pedro Ximénez Triana is Pedro Ximénez, which is exposed to sunlight and after a very careful selection , a must with a great sugar richness is obtained. The slow fermentation at controlled temperature produces wines that possess all the aromas and characteristics of Pedro Ximénez grapes.
Pedro Ximénez should be served slightly chilled between 12 and 14ºC, although younger PX wines are usually served colder.
It's actually a dessert on its own, but it also pairs exceptionally well with desserts of bitter chocolate, ice cream, and intense blue cheeses such as Cabrales or Roquefort.
Bodegas Hidalgo La Gitana Pedro Ximénez Triana is a delicious sherry from the Andalusia region of Spain. This sherry is made from Pedro Ximénez grapes by Bodegas Hidalgo La Gitana.
Bodegas Hidalgo La Gitana was founded in 1792 and since then the business has passed from father to son, and today it is one of the few winegrowing companies owned by the original family and run by the eighth generation in the direct line of the founder.
Don José Pantaleón Hidalgo founded the Bodega Hidalgo in 1792, when he bought a small warehouse from Don Roque Vejarano. Although it would take until the 19th century for the company to become one of the most important Manzanilla producers in the world.
Pedro Ximenez is obtained from overripe grapes of the same name, which are sun-dried to retain their exceptionally high concentration of residual sugars. The aging process is exclusively oxidative, giving the wine a progressive aromatic concentration with great complexity, while fully retaining its characteristic freshness.
Pedro Ximenez is most likely the sweetest wine in the world? Despite this, with its complex aromas and taste, it is still fresh and harmonious due to the natural process of "asoleo" or sun-dried. This process not only concentrates the sugars but also the natural acidity of the grapes.
