Product Details
Description
Triana Pedro Ximénez Viejo from Bodegas Hidalgo-La Gitana is a luxurious and deeply sweet sherry. With a rich mahogany colour and hints of iodine, it opens with opulent aromas of sun-dried raisins, figs, prunes, toffee and caramel. On the palate it is incredibly concentrated, velvety and thick, delivering luscious notes of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, molasses and candied orange peel, with a long, decadent finish.
History & Winemaking
Bodegas Hidalgo-La Gitana, founded in 1792 in Sanlúcar de Barrameda in the Jerez region of Andalusia, is still family-run. The PX grapes are left to dry under the Spanish sun on straw or mats, concentrating sugars and developing intense flavours. After partial fermentation the wine is fortified, then aged in American oak casks under the criaderas and solera system for several years, yielding one of the finest expressions of Pedro Ximénez in the Sherry region.

Tasting Notes
Dark mahogany in colour, with rich aromas of raisins, prunes, figs, toffee and treacle. The palate is dense, velvety, supremely sweet yet beautifully balanced by oxidised depth — expect coffee, caramel, dark chocolate and candied peel, finishing with an indulgent length. Majestic Wine+1
Pairings
This wine pairs superbly with rich blue cheeses (such as Stilton or Roquefort), decadent chocolate desserts, sticky toffee pudding, or simply poured over vanilla ice cream with chopped nuts. It also makes a show-stopping after-dinner treat on its own.
