Juan Piñero Cream Sherry Great Duke 12 yrs

Bodegas Juan Piñero is located in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, a town in the Jerez region of Andalusia, Spain. The bodega was founded in 1992 when Juan Piñero purchased and renovated a century-old wine cellar. In 2007, the company expanded with a second bodega in Jerez de la Frontera. The Jerez region is known for its unique climate and Albariza soil, which are ideal for the production of sherry wines.

This Cream Sherry is a blend of Oloroso and approximately 25% Pedro Ximénez, resulting in a sweet but balanced wine. The wine has an average age of 12 years and is matured in a solera system. The alcohol content is 17%. The grapes used are Palomino and Pedro Ximénez. After harvesting, the grapes are pressed and fermented. The wine is then fortified and matured in oak barrels according to the traditional solera system.

The wine has a mahogany brown colour. In the nose aromas of dried fruit, raisins and a hint of caramel are noticeable. The taste is sweet and refreshing, with notes of dried fruit and a soft, balanced finish. The Juan Piñero Cream Sherry Great Duke 12 Years is a rich, sweet sherry with a refined balance between sweetness and freshness.
