Pedro Ximénez is a white grape variety used mainly for fortified – but also for unfortified – wine production. It is believed to originally come from Andalucia (Spain). It is a mid-budding and mid-ripening grape variety with big bunches and small, thick-skinned berries. It is susceptible to downy mildew and botrytis bunch rot (grey mold). Pedro Ximénez typically produces monovarietal wines but can be blended with Palomino Fino. Fermentation usually takes place in stainless steel tanks, maturation – in stainless steel tanks or oak barrels.
