Pedro Ximénez
/PAY-dro hee-meh-NESS/Pedro Ximénez — PX — is Spain's darkest, sweetest fortified wine, made from grapes dried in the Andalucian sun to concentration under the solera system. Inky and viscous with the caramel syrup of raisin and fig, PX is dessert in a glass, and a vital blending component in the palo cortado and cream styles of Jerez.
