The Lustau Emilio San Emilio PX Pedro Ximénez is a sweet sherry from the Andalusian city of Jerez de la Frontera and is made from the traditional Pedro Ximénez grape variety. After harvest, these grapes are dried under the hot Spanish sun, causing them to develop a high natural sugar content – the basis for this sherry’s particularly concentrated, syrupy character. The sherry is aged using the traditional Solera system, which lends the wine depth, complexity and an impressive richness of aroma.

With an alcohol content of 17% ABV, the Lustau Emilio offers an opulent yet harmonious tasting experience. It can be kept for around one year after opening, provided the bottle is stored in a cool, dark place. This Pedro Ximénez is ideal for enjoying in small quantities and is an excellent choice for lovers of full-bodied, sweet wines with depth.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Lustau Emilio PX displays a deep, dark mahogany brown colour with oily streaks. On the nose, intense aromas of raisins, dried figs, dates and caramel dominate, underpinned by hints of cocoa and mocha. On the palate, it is velvety, dense and very sweet, with a creamy texture and a long finish. Flavours of dark dried fruit, chocolate and spices characterise the overall taste profile and leave a powerful, lasting impression.

Acidity: 5.5 g/l

Residual sugar: Less than 1 g/l

Serving temperature: 10–12 °C

This Pedro Ximénez is ideal as a dessert wine – served on its own or slightly chilled with strong blue cheeses such as Roquefort or Gorgonzola. It also reveals its full aromatic potential when paired with chocolate desserts, caramelised nuts or vanilla ice cream. It can equally be used as a flavouring in delicate sauces or to enhance sweet dishes.
