Sandeman `Armada` Superior Cream Sherry, Jerez PDO, Spain, is a rich Red (fortified) wine crafted from Palomino and Pedro Ximénez grapes. This Sweet fortified wine undergoes over ten years of oxidative ageing in a Solera system, developing profound complexity. It bursts with aromas of dried fruits, roasted walnuts, sweet spices, coffee, and treacle. The palate is full-bodied and layered, offering a wonderfully smooth and velvety finish. This exquisite sherry pairs beautifully with mature cheeses or rich desserts.
50.0CL , 17.5% ABV
Vinification
The Palomino grapes are fermented into a dry base wine before being fortified to 17.5% and entering an ancient Solera system. At this ABV, flor yeast cannot survive, so the wine is unprotected from oxygen. Within the solera system, the wine ages oxidatively for over 10 years, developing rich aromas of nuts, dried fruits and spices. The wine is sweetened with the addition of Pedro Ximénez to add richness and weight.
Flavour profile
This Superior Cream Sherry offers a complex bouquet of roasted walnuts, sweet spices, and dried fruits, enriched by notes of coffee and treacle. On the palate, it is full-bodied and layered, delivering a wonderfully smooth and velvety finish.
Serving recommendation
Serve slightly chilled at 12-14°C. No decanting needed, enjoy immediately.
