Ximénez-Spínola Pedro Ximénez Vinegar – Spanish Sherry Vinegar 500ml

Ximénez-Spínola's Pedro Ximénez vinegar is made from the sweet Pedro Ximénez grape variety grown in the sherry triangle of Jerez, southern Spain. This is vinegar for those who understand that the base matters: the grapes themselves carry floral and caramel notes that distinguish it from generic wine vinegars. Aged in barrel and bottled without filtration (en rama), it retains the complexity of the original must.

The flavor is round and slightly sweet, with a gentle acidity and deep amber color. Use it to finish dishes rather than as an all-purpose condiment—a few drops transform a plate of cured ham, aged cheese, or roasted vegetables. It's equally at home in a sherry vinaigrette or drizzled over fresh strawberries.

How to enjoy

• Dress a simple salad of endive and blue cheese with a teaspoon and good olive oil
• Drizzle over sliced jamón ibérico and manchego
• Finish roasted beets or caramelized onions with a single drop
• Mix into a gastrique for glazed carrots or root vegetables

⭐ Why we love this

This is solera-aged vinegar from one of Jerez's most respected bodegas—not a quick fermentation. The Pedro Ximénez grape's natural sweetness and floral complexity mean each drop carries the terroir of the sherry triangle, making it a finishing ingredient that elevates rather than merely acidifies.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Pair with aged Manchego, jamón ibérico, or blue cheese for a simple tapa; or serve alongside a glass of Fino sherry for an authentic Jerez experience. It's also sublime drizzled over fresh figs, walnuts, or as the acid note in a sherry vinaigrette for bitter greens.

📍 From Spain

Produced in Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz, the heart of Spain's sherry region where Pedro Ximénez grapes have been cultivated for centuries. Ximénez-Spínola's heritage as a family bodega dating back to the 18th century ensures this vinegar carries the authentic complexity only true solera aging can achieve.
