Pedro Ximénez 1730 VORS is a beautifully balanced sweet wine from Jerez, made from 100% Pedro Ximénez and aged oxidatively for a minimum of 30 years. Rich, silky and persistent, it combines raisins, toasted sugar, wood and vanilla with remarkable depth.

The Process

Sun-dried grapes. Fortified. Aged for over 30 years.

Pedro Ximénez 1730 VORS is made from Pedro Ximénez grapes that are harvested and laid out in the sun to raisin. The juice is then extracted and fermentation begins briefly before being stopped through fortification to 15% vol. The wine is subsequently aged oxidatively for a minimum of 30 years through the traditional solera and criaderas system in American oak barrels.
