Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

A rich blend of Faraon Oloroso and sweet Triana Pedro Ximenez matured in a Solera System for a minimum of 8 years to create a rich sweet well-balanced wine.

Flattering date, candied ginger, steeped golden raisin and prune eau-de-vie notes meld together here, carrying through the sweet-edged and slightly heady finish. A hint of walnut hull peeks in at the very end.

Blend: 85% Palomino, 25% Pedro Ximenez

    The Alameda Cream is dark amber and medium sweet with creme brulee aromas and flavors, a far classier drink than what your grandmother used to imbibe.

Sherry is a fortified wine that comes in many styles from dry to sweet. True Sherry can only be made in Andalucía, Spain where the soil and unique seasonal changes give a particular character to its wines. The process of production—not really the grape—determine the type, though certain types are reserved for certain grapes. Palomino is responsible for most dry styles; Pedro Ximénez and Muscat of Alexandria are used for blending or for sweet styles.

Sherry is a mere English corruption of the term Jerez, while in French, Jerez is written, Xérès. Manzanilla is the freshest style of sherry, naturally derived from the seaside town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
