Barbadillo La Cilla Pedro Ximénez N.V. captures the hedonistic side of sherry, delivering luxurious sweetness and velvety texture. The grapes are laid out to dry in the Andalusian sun, concentrating flavours of raisins, figs and dates before the wine undergoes long oxidative ageing. The result is a deep ebony liquid with soaring aromas of caramel, coffee, dried fruit and sweet spices. The palate is thick and smooth, offering remarkable intensity balanced by gentle acidity that keeps it from becoming cloying. Whether savoured on its own as a dessert in a glass or paired with rich, salty and creamy foods, this PX provides a sumptuous and unforgettable drinking experience in compact 37.5cl format.
Barbadillo La Cilla Pedro Ximénez N.V. is a fortified sweet sherry made in Jerez from sun-dried Pedro Ximénez grapes, concentrating their sugars before fermentation. It is aged oxidatively in the traditional solera system, resulting in a deeply sweet, viscous style. This bottling is presented in a 37.5cl half bottle.
This Pedro Ximénez pairs indulgently with dark chocolate desserts, sticky toffee pudding, tiramisu, and vanilla ice cream, where it can be poured directly over the top. It is also excellent with blue cheeses such as Stilton or Cabrales, where its intense sweetness creates perfect balance. For a creative twist, pair it with roasted nuts, figs or even rich pâté. Serve slightly chilled at around 10–12°C.
