Valdespino "Isabela" Cream Sherry, 750ml

Part of the Premium Collection, this is a blend of approximately 75% dry Oloroso (Palomino Fino) and 25% sweet Pedro Ximénez. The base wines are matured separately through the traditional Criaderas y Solera system before blending, after which the combined wine undergoes a further 5 years of oxidative aging in its own dedicated solera. The total average age of the final wine exceeds 15 years, yielding a residual sugar level of 120 g/L.

Tasting Note:

Aromas of dried fig, date, and raisin join toasted walnut, caramel, toffee, and warm oak spice. The palate is rich and smooth without cloying weight, balancing dense dark fruit and sweet honeyed notes with savory roasted nuts, orange peel, and dried leather. The finish carries long, warm, and balanced between sweet and oxidative elements.
