PX Pedro Ximenez 2010 - Case of 6

"Growers from the Elqui vineyards, who produce fascinating red wines from Syrah and Carmenère, wanted to make a white with a difference, so chose Pedro Ximénez, whose only claim to fame is as the source of treacly brown sherries in Spain. This is soft, with a creaminess like bread yeast and squashy yellow fruit" - Recommended by Oz Clarke, 250 Best Wines 2012

"Very crisp and fresh with subtle grapefruit and lemon notes, this is close to the perfect summer white. From the north of Chile, where the Pedro Ximenez grape is usually used to make Chile's national drink, Pisco, it should be served ice cold" - Jamie Goode, Sunday Express, July 2010

An aromatic and refreshing white wine from Chile's most northerly wine-growing region. Clean, grassy aromas mingle with pear and pineapple fruit to give an easy-drinking, crisp and lively white

ABOUT THIS WINE:
Pedro Ximenez is an unusual grape variety, more commonly found in Southern Spain where it makes unctuous dessert wines. This wine couldn't be more different in style, all freshness and light, and this is partly down to where it is grown. Chile's Elqui Valley is the country's most northerly fine wine region, a dramatic, steep-sided river valley that enjoys crystal clear skies, arid conditions and a moderate climate. Cooling breezes whistle up the valley in the afternoons, keeping the grapes healthy and fresh. This wine is made from 30 year-old vineyards.

SERVING:
This vibrant, fruity wine is an ideal aperitif. Alternatively, it can be paired with mildly flavoured dishes such as goat's cheese salad or grilled white fish.
