Williams & Humbert, Don Zoila Pedro Ximenez, Spain – Sherry

The W&H Don Zoila Pedro Ximénez is a luxurious dessert sherry that exemplifies the rich heritage and craftsmanship of Spain’s Jerez region. Produced by Williams & Humbert, a family-owned winery established in 1877, this sherry is crafted from estate-grown Pedro Ximénez grapes cultivated in the esteemed Pago de Balbaína and Pago de Carrascal vineyards.
