Mil Pesetas Cream Sherry – Soft and rich sweet sherry from Jerez

Mil Pesetas Cream Sherry is a classic and harmonious sherry from Andalusia in southern Spain. This wine combines depth, sweetness and elegance in one glass. Cream sherry is known for its round style and soft character, which makes it very pleasant to enjoy.

The wine is aged in the house’s Compañia cellar according to the traditional solera system. Here the sherry matures slowly in oak barrels over many years. This method ensures a stable quality and a nice balance between complexity and softness.

Mil Pesetas Cream Sherry is made as a blend of older Oloroso and the sweet Pedro Ximénez. Oloroso provides structure, nutty aromas and depth. Pedro Ximénez contributes intense sweetness and rich notes of raisins and dried fruit. Together they create a sherry with great harmony and rich flavor.

This type of sherry is ideal for desserts or as a cozy glass after dinner. It goes particularly well with chocolate, nut cakes and blue cheeses. It can also be enjoyed on its own, slightly chilled, where the round and sweet style really comes into its own.

Tasting notes
The color is deep mahogany with warm amber tones. The aroma is rich and aromatic with notes of walnuts, caramel and dried raisins. The taste is soft, rich and round with a nice balance between sweetness and structure. Dried fruit, nuts and light caramel characterize the whole. The aftertaste is long, sweet and silky.
