Gil Luque winery under the esteemed Grupo Estévez, this medium-dry sherry exemplifies a delicate balance of nuanced sweetness and complexity.

Experience the Essence of Andalusia
Leyenda Medium Dry Sherry is more than just a wine; it’s a journey through the rich, storied history of Andalusian sherry-making. Produced at the M. Gil Luque winery, a prestigious establishment owned by Grupo Estévez, this sherry is emblematic of the meticulous craftsmanship that defines Jerez de la Frontera.
Unique Composition and Aging Process
Primarily made from the Pedro Ximénez grape, Leyenda Medium Dry Sherry occasionally incorporates small amounts of Palomino Fino and Moscato Blanco, adding dimension to the wine’s profile. Fermented and fortified to achieve a harmonious 17% ABV, the wine is matured using the traditional Solera-Criadera system. This intricate aging process, involving American oak barrels, imbues the sherry with a remarkable depth, layering it with notes of wood, dried fruits, and a gentle oxidative complexity.
A Refined Tasting Experience
Upon pouring, Leyenda Medium Dry Sherry reveals its stunning amber hue, a visual promise of the sensory pleasure to come. The aroma is a tapestry of pronounced wood and dried fruit notes, seamlessly interwoven with subtle hints of nuts and a whisper of flor from its unique aging.
The palate is greeted with a slightly sweet introduction, brilliantly offset by balanced acidity. Flavors of figs, raisins, and a soft nuttiness unfold, leading to a finish that is both soft and lingering, leaving traces of oak and dried fruit long after the last sip.
Versatile Pairing Possibilities
Ideal as an aperitif, this sherry pairs beautifully with an array of dishes. Its balanced sweetness and acidity make it a perfect companion for Spanish cheeses like Manchego, as well as cured meats, and roasted game. For those with a sweet tooth, it complements nut-based pastries and desserts featuring dried fruits.

Leyenda Medium Dry Sherry is a product of both tradition and modern innovation under Grupo Estévez’s stewardship. With a commitment to sustainable practices and a dedication to quality, the brand ensures that each bottle captures the essence of Jerez’s rich wine-making history, making it a staple for both enthusiasts and new admirers alike.
