Pedro Ximénez is a type of sweet sherry wine made from the Pedro Ximénez grape, primarily grown in the Jerez region of southern Spain. This grape is known for its high sugar content, which contributes to the wine's rich, syrupy texture and deep flavors of raisins, figs, and caramel.
The production process involves drying the grapes in the sun to concentrate their sugars before fermentation. Pedro Ximénez is often enjoyed as a dessert wine, served chilled or drizzled over desserts, and is also used in cooking to add sweetness and depth to various dishes.
