Product Description
Details
A combination of an oloroso wine and a sweet white wine, Solera 1847 Cream is produced by legendary bodega Tío Pepe, a brand of González Byass.
This exquisite fortified Spanish wine is made from 75% Palomino and 25% Pedro Ximénez grapes.
Both varieties were separately pressed. After obtaining the mosto yema -the "free-run" juice- the Palomino was fortified up to 18% alcohol, and the Pedro Ximénez was fortified to 15.5% alcohol. Then each wine went through a process of oxidative ageing in American oak barrels.
After that, this sweet oloroso wine was blended. Finally, Solera 1847 Cream was for a minimum of 8 years in soleras and criaderas.
Pair this Cream from jerez with medium aged cheeses and not-too-sweet desserts, such as an apple cake.
