Characteristics Williams & Humbert Don Guido PX VOS

Williams & Humbert Don Guido PX VOS is a generous sweet Pedro Ximénezwine from the D.O. Jerés-Xérès-Sherry produced by Bodegas William & Humbert.

Bodegas William & Humbert is located in the triangle formed by Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa Maria and Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and which is between the estuaries of the Guadalquivir and Guadalete rivers. This area is characterised by its undulating, white limestone land called albarizas.

The Williams & Humbert Don Guido PX VOSvineyards are located in Jerez Superior. The grape used for its preparation is of the Pedro Ximénez variety. This is left to dry in the sun for 15 days on almijares, a kind of round carpet. They are then pressed and the must is fortified to 9º. The impurities are denatured and eliminated and the must is then fortified again up to 18º to finally become part of the Criaderas y Soleras system where it undergoes an oxidative ageing in barrels for at least 20 years. Finally the resulting wine has approximately 380gr/litre of all-natural sugar.
