Barbadillo Cream Sherry NV

Barbadillo Cream Sherry, Jerez, Andalucia, Spain, NV

Grapes:  A blend of Palomino and Pedro Ximenez, 121g/L residual sugar

This is effectively a blend of Oloroso and PX Sherries with an average Solera age of about 8 years. The result is a rich and sweet but not cloying dessert wine. 

Brilliant mahogany colour with attractive reddish glints. Aromas of pastries and wood appear on the nose. In the mouth it provides a pleasing silky sensation and a certain sweetness and provides a wonderfully long finish.

Serving Suggestions:

Its fruity aroma and intense colour make this wine an ideal choice to serve as an aperitif alongside nibbles such as cheese, nuts, olives and canapes. The pleasing and intense flavour is the perfect complement to white meat curries, roast pork, sauteed rice dishes with pine nuts and raisins or foie gras. In addition, it is excellent at the dessert course when matched with cured cheeses, raisin ice cream or chocolate with banana cream and nuts. Delicious!

In order to best appreciate this wine´s special qualities, it should be served at an ambient temperature of between 12º to 15º, using a wine glass; this applies if drunk as an aperitif or if served with a meal. For a change, give it a try in a brandy glass with a slice of lemon
