Rich, Historic, and Beautifully Sweet

If you enjoy deeply complex, sweet dessert wines with a story to tell, this legendary Cream Sherry is a must-try. Balancing the rich, syrupy sweetness of Pedro Ximénez with the nutty, dry elegance of Oloroso, it delivers a velvet-smooth wave of roasted nuts, caramel, and dried fruits, all lifted by a refreshing zing of acidity.

Awards & Accolades

  • 91 Points – James Suckling: "Full of toffee and caramelized nuts, this sherry is rich and frankly sweet, but it has a lot of character. Rather subtle prune note at the long finish. Drink now."

Highlights

  • A masterful blend of 80% dry Oloroso and 20% sweet Pedro Ximénez.
  • Both components are aged independently for 12 years in traditional soleras, then blended and aged for an additional 3 years in a special warm, humid cellar.
  • This unique aging process replicates the historic 17th-century sea voyages of the East India Company, where sherry casks were lashed to ships as ballast, developing extraordinary smoothness and complexity across the ocean.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Dark mahogany with bronze and green-amber edges.
  • Nose: Intense and hypnotic aromas of raisins, dates, toffee, mocha, roasted almonds, and a touch of antique noble wood.
  • Palate: Silky, rich, and dense. Flavors of plum jam, brown sugar, and candied orange peel are perfectly balanced by a tangy acidity that prevents the sweetness from becoming cloying. Long finish with hints of salted caramel and Turkish coffee.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve slightly chilled at 10–12°C.
  • Decanting: No decanting required. Thanks to its fortified and oxidized nature, an open bottle will stay fresh in the fridge for months.
  • Western Pairing: Perfect with foie gras, blue cheeses (like Roquefort or Stilton), light fruit desserts, and Tiramisu.
  • Asian & Cantonese Pairing: The rich sweetness and savory complexity make it a brilliant, unexpected match for intense, umami-driven dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with 黑松露牛肉炒飯 (Fried Rice with Beef and Black Truffle).
