Sherry wines have been an essential part of the average wine cabinet for centuries. However, a shift has occurred in recent decades. Around the 1970s and 1980s, it was primarily the crisp, dry, nutty sherries that were popular. They were often served at grandmother's house as a delicious aperitif. These slightly oxidative sherries have given way to a new style of sherry, Pedro Ximenez. This sherry, made from the eponymous grape, has a thicker, sweeter character. This makes Pedro Ximenez sherries exceptionally well-suited for serving with dessert.
Barbadillo has been a pioneer in the vineyards around Jerez de la Frontera for two centuries. Their extensive experience allows them to produce exquisite sherries. This Pastora Pedro Ximenez Sherry Barbadillo is a prime example. You'll smell a lavish bouquet of freshly roasted nuts, raisins, and dried figs.
