Dark as night and shimmering with a faint iodine hue, the VORS Pedro Ximénez 30-Year-Old is an extraordinary wine of depth, decadence, and balance, the very definition of liquid history. The nose is mesmerizing: waves of dried figs, dates and molasses intertwined with roasted coffee bean, dark cocoa, liquorice and Christmas spice. On the palate, it’s pure velvet, dense, luscious and impossibly rich, yet lifted by a subtle thread of acidity that keeps it graceful, never heavy. Layers of crème caramel, toffee, candied walnut and burnt sugar unfold endlessly, tapering to a finish that lingers like a warm echo of sweetness and spice. It’s not just dessert, it’s an experience of pure, timeless indulgence.

For when: you want to finish the evening with quiet awe.
Pairs with: dark chocolate torte, blue cheese, or sipped slowly on its own.
If this wine were: a memory, it’d be candlelight on old mahogany, rich, warm, and unforgettable.

Made from 100% Pedro Ximénez, this VORS Sherry is drawn from a tiny solera of just six casks, hand-selected by the late Manuel Lozano, Lustau’s legendary capataz (cellar master). The grapes are sun-dried to concentrate sugars and aromas before the long, oxidative ageing begins in the still air of Jerez de la Frontera, where the wine slowly transforms over three decades into something near transcendence.

Part of Lustau’s revered VORS (Very Old Rare Sherry) collection, certified as having an average age of at least 30 years, this PX is both profound and perfectly balanced: an opulent yet poised Sherry that encapsulates a century of craftsmanship. Serve gently chilled at 13–14°C in a fine glass, and let each sip remind you that some pleasures are meant to last forever.
