SHERRY
Classic Cream Sherry
At last, we can re-introduce our Sherry style kit that lives up to the standard of quality we have established in all of our industry leading dessert wine kits.
The rich concentration of flavour is reminiscent of an ice wine but with specific twists. Firstly, it is golden hued from oak contact and exposure to elevated temperatures. Secondly, the subtle tropical fruit notes give way to rich, dark tones found only in a fine Sherry.
The complex aroma is enveloping. Subtle citrus fragrance precedes notes of coffee, caramel, tobacco and cocoa. The velvety flavour suggests dried fruit, vanilla and almonds. There is a balance of sweetness, richness and maturity. The finish provides a lingering farewell as the concentrated flavours of dates and figs slowly dissolve on the palate. Serve at room temperature, or lightly chilled.
