Description
Experience the exquisite charm of Argüeso 1822 Pedro Ximenez, a distinguished 10-year-old Pedro Ximénez Sherry from the illustrious Bodegas Argüeso. Crafted with meticulous care, this rich and complex wine is a true reflection of its heritage, hailing from the sun-soaked vineyards of Montilla, situated in the heart of Andalucia, Spain. The fruit, delicately dried under the sun, concentrates the sugar, leading to an intensely sweet and rounded character.
With a striking ABV of 15%, Argüeso Pedro Ximenez offers a symphony of flavors:
- The aroma presents an enticing bouquet of sun-dried raisins, luscious figs, and sticky dates, beautifully intertwined with honeyed syrup and subtle hints of spiced fruit compote.
- On the palate, indulge in its dangerously sweet profile, where caramelized raisins and toasted coffee create a luxurious experience, all balanced by a bright acidity.
- The finish reveals lingering notes of dark chocolate, wrapped in a warm, syrupy embrace, ensuring every sip is memorable.
This versatile Sherry pairs flawlessly with numerous culinary delights, offering unique serving suggestions that enhance its indulgent qualities:
- Serve slightly chilled alongside a roasted chestnut and caramelized pecan dessert to create a nutty, autumn-inspired pairing.
- Drizzle over blue cheese and toasted walnut ice cream for an extraordinary savory-sweet contrast.
- Utilize as a syrup on grilled pineapple skewers, enhanced by smoked sea salt and fresh mint for a tropical twist.
- Complement bite-sized foie gras canapés topped with berry compote to balance richness with its sticky sweetness.
- Construct a mini dessert shooter layering PX Sherry, mascarpone cream, and crushed espresso cookies for a deconstructed tiramisu.
- Mix into a cocktail with aged rum and orange zest for a warming and elegant drink experience.
- Enjoy in a small wine glass with spiced lamb meatballs glazed with pomegranate molasses, showcasing its ability to enhance rich flavors.
- Freeze into ice cubes for a dark chocolate espresso martini, allowing slow sweetness to unfold.
- Present as a delightful pairing with sticky toffee pudding, creating a theatrical moment during dessert.
- Use as a marinade for Asian-style glazed duck breast, elevating simplicity into gourmet elegance.
To preserve the quality of your Argüeso Pedro Ximenez, store it upright in a cool, dark place, ideally between 11°C and 15°C. After opening, reseal tightly and keep it refrigerated to maintain its flavorful profile for several months. Whether enjoyed solo or paired with delectable treats, this exceptional Sherry promises an enticing experience that lingers long after the last sip.

Storage advice
For Sherry including Pedro Ximénez optimal storage focuses on controlling temperature light sealing bottle position and humidity to preserve quality and extend shelf life:
- Temperature: Store bottles at a cool stable temperature between 14-16°C (57-60°F) which suits medium-bodied wines like Sherry. Avoid temperature fluctuations to prevent accelerated aging or spoilage.
- Light Exposure: Keep bottles in a dark place away from direct sunlight or artificial light as light can degrade the wine's quality by accelerating oxidation and flavor deterioration.
- Sealing: Ensure bottles remain properly sealed with their original cork or screw cap. After opening close the bottle tightly to limit oxygen exposure as air accelerates the natural development and eventual decline in quality; for opened bottles refrigeration is recommended to slow oxidation.
- Bottle Position: Unlike many wines store Sherry bottles upright to minimize the surface area exposed to air inside the bottle. This reduces oxidation risk since Sherry is more stable but still sensitive to air exposure once opened.
- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity (around 60-70%) to prevent corks from drying out or becoming moldy ensuring optimal sealing integrity especially for cork-sealed bottles. This helps preserve the wine’s freshness over time.
- Special considerations for opened bottles: Once opened Sherry types with biological aging (e.g. Fino Manzanilla) deteriorate more quickly and should be consumed within a week or two stored in the fridge with the bottle sealed. More oxidized types like Pedro Ximénez or Oloroso are more stable and can last somewhat longer if refrigerated and resealed properly.
