Produced under the prestigious Leyenda brand, part of Grupo Estévez, this cream sherry is a marvelous representation of tradition meeting modern winemaking.
Grape Varieties
This delightful cream sherry is a balanced blend of two classic sherry grape varieties: Oloroso (Palomino Fino) and Pedro Ximénez (PX). The Oloroso grapes contribute structure, nuttiness, and oxidative complexity, while the Pedro Ximénez grapes provide sweetness, richness, and dense dried fruit flavors.
Winemaking Process
The crafting of Leyenda Cream Medium Sweet involves intricate processes. Aged using the traditional solera system, the wine develops its profound complexity over time. This method ensures a consistent blend by mixing wines of various ages, resulting in an exquisite fortified wine with a dark mahogany to deep copper-amber color.
