Alice has asked if these PX sherry wines have a use-by date. Like all good wines, there are no use-by dates. The oldest wines of this unique style were made in 1995 and are still drinking perfectly. All I can suggest is that your bottles should be recorked every 20 years. This wine is a sherry style, and vintages have been fortified to produce a liqueur PX sherry style.
This wine is unfined and unfiltered and may "throw "harmless sediment in the bottle.

Pedro Ximenez port winemaking
Very sweet and ripe and sun-dried organic Pedro Ximenez grapes are crushed and de-stemmed before being pumped into a ceramic fermenting tank. The PX grape ferment is started with natural yeasts and continues at 20C until the ferment has proceeded through about 3 degrees of sugar reduction so the grape skins float.
The skins are drained and shovelled by hand into a basket pressed, the juice returned to an open fermenter under the winery verandah. The ferment continues at 20 degrees Celsius until the winemaker determines it is the correct time. Once the ferment stops the wine is pumped to oak hogsheads for underground cellaring and maturation. After a minimum of four years, the Pedro port wine is bottled and sealed.
