If spicy flavours rock your world, try this treacly, intensely luscious sweet sherry from one of the great producers in southern Spain – Lustau. This wine is made 100% from the Pedro Ximenez grape, also known as PX. It’s a white grape, which is typically given long hang time on the vines followed by sun drying to create its intensely rich, sweet flavours, which come partially from the shrivelled well ripened grapes and partially from the production – this wine is fermented to a low level of alcohol and then fortified.
Sticky date pudding or home made ginger bread, here’s your perfect match.
We love sweet sherry but it’s not to be confused with the great, tangy dry sherries of the world, which are an entire delicious category in their own right.
