BARBADILLO Cream

• Pronunciation:

  BAR-BA-DEE-YO

• Grape:

  Palomino Fina, Pedro Ximenez & Moscatel

• Region:

  Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Jeréz, Spain (DO)

• Vinification:

  The Palomino grapes are hand picked, crushed, pressed and fermented off the skins in temperature controlled vats. The wine is then fortified to 17.5% to kill off the flor before being transferred to the bodegas in Sanlúcar to age in contact with the air. This process creates a sherry type known as Oloroso which is how the Barbadillo Cream begins its life. As the Oloroso ages, it turns a deep, dark brown and gains concentration. At the end of the Solera aging process, it is blended and sweetened with Pedro Ximenez and Moscatel to produce Barbadillo Cream Sherry.

• Tasting:

  Brilliant mahogany colour with reddish glints, aromas of pastries and wood on the nose. Sweet and silky on the palate with a satisfying long finish.

• Service:

  For a modern twist, turn this classic sherry into a fabulous cocktail by serving with crushed ice in a deep goblet accompanied by a fresh orange segment to squeeze over!
