Estones PX is a rather unusual Spanish white wine from DO Terra Alta. This is one of the very few unfortified varietal Pedro Ximénez wines made outside of Sherry country.

The 60-year-old vines were harvested by hand. Once in the cellar, they were macerated with the skins and fermented in stainless steel tanks for 36 days. After completing malolactic fermentation, it was aged for 8 months on lees in the tanks and in clay vessels.
