{"product_id":"valdespino-pedro-ximenez-el-candado-nv","title":"Valdespino Pedro Ximénez El Candado NV","description":"\u003cp\u003eValdespino Pedro Ximénez El Candado is a sweet sherry from Jerez, sold with the small padlock on the neck that gives it its name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePedro Ximénez is made by laying the picked grapes out in the sun until they shrivel, concentrating the sugar to a point at which fermentation can barely begin; the must is fortified early and then aged in a solera, where wine passes through a series of casks over many years and the oldest scale is never fully emptied. The result is among the sweetest wines made anywhere, carrying several times the sugar of a conventional dessert wine. Valdespino is one of the oldest bodegas in Jerez, with a history traditionally traced to the fifteenth century, and has stayed with long cask ageing rather than the shortcuts available to a modern producer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eServe cool, at around 13°C, in a small glass with chocolate, blue cheese or dried fruit, or poured over vanilla ice cream; the sugar preserves an opened bottle for months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
