Pedro Ximénez


Pedro Ximénez is a variety of grapes belonging to Vitis Vinifera species. It is a white color skin grape, used for making some of the very popular sherry- type wines.

The origin of this grape variety is believed to be in Spain. Some of the other names for Pedro Ximénez are; Pedro Jimenez, Perrum, Don Bueno etc.

Pedro Ximénez demands hot climate to grow, so vineyards of Australia, Spain, Portugal and Chile cheerfully grow this grape. Montilla-Moriles, a region of Spain is particularly famous for growing PedroXiménez in their vineyards. About 23,680 acres of cultivated land in Spain are dominated by Pedro Ximénez.

Here in Montilla-Moriles, this grape is used in making fortified sherry-style wine. The wines made from Pedro Ximénez in Spain can be recognized from the label PX on the wine bottle.

In Portugal, the wine regions like Evora and Borba indulge 860 acres of land to home PedroXiménez grapes. In Portugal, this grape is called Perrum and it is more preferred for blending than making wine. Some South American countries like Chile and Argentina produce unfortified, dry and fruity wines from Pedro Ximénez. Over the years the plantation of this grape has been declined in Australia, but some parts of the Margaret river region, Barrosa valley and rutherglen region continue planting Pedro Ximénezgrapes for making dry and unfortified wines.
