Tasting notes
How it tastes
Our Cream Sherry is a luxuriously sweet, fragrant and complex fortified wine. It possesses the rich, nutty flavor and aroma characteristic of traditional sherry, which develops during extended aging in old oak barrels. Enjoy Cream Sherry after dinner by itself or as the perfect accompaniment to caramel or chocolate desserts, especially with nuts.

The wine
About this wine
Our Cream Sherry is a carefully selected blend of sweetened wine that’s fortified with grape brandy. The wine is slowly baked, which causes a slow oxidation process. This heating and oxidation process will give the sherry a caramelized flavor and golden color. After the baking process is complete, the wine is barreled where it will age for many years in a modified solera method, giving the sherry its rich, complex and nutty flavor.
