Pedro Ximénez

Pedro Ximénez — affectionately known as PX — makes the world's most decadent dessert wine, a dense, syrupy raisin essence from southern Spain.

The grapes are sun-dried for days until they approach raisins, then fermented to produce a wine as dark as molasses, bursting with fig, dates and toffee.

For the buyer, PX is liquid dessert — a few sips poured over ice cream or blue cheese is unforgettable.
