Valdespino PX El Candado NV

The benchmark Fino. Dry and supremely tangy, with incredible depth.

A true dry amontillado. Dry but rich with complex notes of lime leaf, caramel and hazelnuts.

Very dry, light, crisp with a slightly salty flavour. Fresh and intriguing on the nose.

Palo Cortado from a single vineyard, the estate of Marchanudo. Mahogany coloured with copper tinges, delicate and pungent on the nose extremely elegant with reminiscences of old oak and naturally dry fruits. The taste is dry, rich in flavour, good acidity very complex, long and persistent, in perfect harmony with its aroma.

Néctar shows an intense ebony colour with iodine tones and intense legs due to high sugar content. On the nose rich aromas of fruits such as raisins, figs and dates accompanied by honey, syrup and fruit preserve. On the palate velvety and smooth with good acidity which alleviates the sweetness. Long and flavourful finish.

NOSE Coffee and dark chocolate. PALATE Very sweet with a super thick texture. Appealing almonds/amaretto character. Subtle taste of figs. FINISH Caramel and toffee. Long, thick, and mouth-coating.

Viscous and very richly textured, this is seriously concentrated. Try drizzling it over ice cream for sheer decadence!!

Note: This is a half bottle (37.5cl) This delicious Pedro Ximenez has a liquid Christmas cake character, great depth and a lovely flick of acidity on the finish which serves to emphasise the unctuous sweetness and flavours of dried fig and raisins.
