Winemaker Notes
A rich, oxidized palate of dried figs, toffee, roasted espresso lead into a heady, long, and warm finish. This molasses hued, deeply concentrated sherry showcases nuance and elegance while managing to be light on its feet.

Cinnamon and plum flavors arrive like a sweet, creamy wave, slowly flooding each corner of the palate with caramelized notes. This is a PX that continues to build complexity in the glass, bringing notes of herbs and fresh ground coffee as it takes on air. A perfect companion to patisserie.
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.
Known more formally as Jerez de la Frontera, Jerez is a city in Andalucía in southwest Spain and the center of the Jerez region and sherry production. 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.
