About Cream Sherry and Montilla Moriles
Cream Sherry, also known simply as Cream, is a style of sweet Sherry that is popular for its luscious, rich, and sweet characteristics. Unlike dry Sherry styles like Fino, Manzanilla, or Amontillado, Cream Sherry is sweetened to varying degrees, making it an appealing choice for those with a preference for dessert wines. Here's some key information about Cream Sherry
Cream Sherry is made from the Palomino grape variety, similar to other Sherry styles. The grapes are fermented, and after fermentation, the wine is fortified with grape spirits (brandy) to raise the alcohol content. What sets Cream Sherry apart is that it is sweetened during the aging process, often through the addition of a sweeter wine or grape concentrate. This sweetening process is known as "aromatization."
Sweet or cream sherry used to be a hugely popular category in the UK . The name "Cream sherry" is named after Harvys Bristol Cream, around 1860, invented a kind of thick, sweet blend that originated in Bristol. This was the top selling category for decades but sales have gradually subsided in favor of drier styles.
