Bodegas Gutierrez Colosia Cream 75 cl 18%

Cream sherry is a hybrid - an Oloroso joined by sweet Pedro Ximénez, and the result is a sherry that unites two opposite worlds in one glass.

Expert's Description

Bodegas Gutierrez Colosia Cream is a Sherry from El Puerto de Santa María, Spain made from a blend of Palomino and Pedro Ximénez, bottled at 18% ABV.

The wine is originally produced as an Oloroso, then sweetened with Pedro Ximénez, giving it its round, creamy character. The Cream sherry concept was originally developed for the English market, which preferred a sweeter style than the dry Spanish classics.
