Leyenda Pedro Ximénez Sherry, a beacon of quality and tradition, offers an unforgettable tasting experience.

It captures the essence of Jerez, Spain, a region celebrated for producing some of the world’s most cherished sherries.
Experience the Essence of Jerez
Nestled in the sunlit vineyards of Jerez, Andalucia, Leyenda Pedro Ximénez Sherry is a masterpiece crafted by Grupo Estevez. This naturally sweet sherry is made exclusively from the Pedro Ximénez grape, showcasing the unique terroir and age-old winemaking traditions of the region.
Grape Selection and Sun Drying
Renowned for its intense sweetness, the Pedro Ximénez grapes are meticulously harvested at peak ripeness. The grapes undergo a traditional sun-drying process known as “asoleo,” where they are carefully laid out under the Andalusian sun for up to two weeks. This practice enhances their sugar concentration and aromatic profiles, transforming them into sweet, flavor-packed raisins.
Meticulous Winemaking Process
Post raisin transformation, the grapes are gently pressed to extract a highly concentrated must. Fermentation is halted through fortification, preserving the natural sweetness of the grapes. The sherry is then aged for over five years in oak barrels, following the storied Solera-Criadera system. This aging process not only adds depth and complexity but also ensures a harmonious blend of younger and older wines, delivering a consistent quality that wine enthusiasts expect from Leyenda.
Sensory Delight
Pouring a glass reveals a luxurious deep mahogany hue with mesmerizing viscosity. Each sip unravels layers of dried fruits such as raisins, figs, and plums, coupled with indulgent notes of honey, dark chocolate, and coffee. The palate is treated to a velvety, creamy texture, perfectly balanced by a touch of refreshing acidity that lingers through a long, satisfying finish.
Perfect Pairings
Whether paired with a decadent dessert or served as a standalone digestif, Leyenda Pedro Ximénez Sherry elevates any occasion. It pairs magnificently with chocolate-based desserts, strong cheeses like blue and goat cheese, or even drizzled over ice cream for an indulgent treat.
A Timeless Tradition
From grape to glass, Leyenda Pedro Ximénez encapsulates the dedication and mastery inherent in the region’s sherry production. As part of Grupo Estevez’s esteemed portfolio, this sherry is more than a wine—it’s a tribute to the traditions that have made Jerez a hallmark of quality wines worldwide.
