The 2021 Equipo Navazos Casa del Inca Pedro Ximénez is a richly concentrated sweet wine from Andalucía in southern Spain, crafted from the Pedro Ximénez grape variety. Known for its naturally intense sweetness and distinctive dried-fruit character, this wine reflects the traditional style of Pedro Ximénez, with an emphasis on depth, texture and balance. The nose reveals aromas of dried figs, raisins, dates and candied orange peel, complemented by notes of dark caramel, roasted coffee, molasses and subtle warm spices.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and generously sweet, with a dense, velvety texture balanced by gentle acidity and savoury complexity. Flavours of raisin syrup, dried plums, fig preserve and dark toffee unfold alongside hints of espresso, dark chocolate, roasted walnuts and liquorice. Its concentrated fruit character provides richness, while subtle bitter-cocoa notes add definition. The finish is long and persistent, leaving lingering impressions of dried fruit, caramelised sugar, coffee and delicate spice.
