Pedro Ximénez, listed here as Pedro Ximenes, is a Spanish white grape used as the base for sweet, dark PX sherry made in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles. California's CDFA reports mention it only from 2000 through 2002, confined to a single crush district, with volumes never exceeding about 5.7 tons crushed in a year. Prices topped out at $150 a ton, a level consistent with bulk or fortified-wine use. No bearing acreage was ever separately reported, and the variety disappears from state reports after 2002.
