Bodegas Tradicion Sherry 20 Years Pedro Ximenez originates from only grapes of the same white variety, carefully selected and left for a few days to dry in the rows. Subsequently, the dried grapes are vinified through alcoholic fermentation in oak barrels, stopped by the addition of alcohol in such a way as to leave a high level of natural residual sugars. The aging always takes place in oak barrels for a very long period according to the Solera Method, with the average age of the reserves being around 20-22 years.
