Cream Sherry is one of the sweetest versions from the Sherry district. A good and classic companion for sweet desserts.

The area and the producer:

Sherry comes from the southern part of Spain, in the area properly called Jerez. One of the world's largest and most complex wines, Sherry, is produced here. The majority is made from the relatively neutral Palomino grape, with most of the flavor complexity coming from the unique aging methods used to make the different types of Sherry.

Garvey is one of the oldest houses in the area, founded as far back as 1780 by William Garvey, an Irish aristocrat. He quickly made Garvey one of the leading producers in the area and despite changing ownership, Garvey is still one of the leading bodegas in the area.

The wine:

Cream Sherry is made by adding a touch of Pedro Ximenes Sherry to an Oloroso, which then becomes sweeter and creamier in texture. This Cream Sherry is made by Garvey from Palomino and Pedro Ximenes grapes.

Sherry is made from grapes harvested in the Jerez district of Spain. After the alcoholic fermentation, alcohol is added and the strength of the wine increases. As a starting point, all Sherry is dry, but sweetness is added later.

In the glass:

Dark and brown in the glass with a scent of dried figs, candied orange peel and caramel. The taste is powerful and full-bodied with great sweetness and notes of dried fruit and caramel.

A good companion for sweet desserts.

Served at 10 – 12 degrees.
