Bodegas Alvear Cream

Alvear produces a non-vintage Cream, which is essentially a sweeter style of Oloroso. Its dark amber color is accompanied by sweet, nutty, milkshake-like aromas, tremendous precision as well as intensity, and a marvelous finish.

The NV Cream Sherry is a Pedro Ximénez wine sourced from Montilla-Moriles, combining 50% Oloroso and 50% sweet PX wine. Aged for up to eight years in solera, it features oak aromas with notes of hazelnut and almond. Sweet and rich, the mildly refreshing core leads to a long, woody finish. This is a sweet and savory sip with a nod to tradition.

Toasty and sweet on the nose, however it's not very complex. Feels juicy and refined, with raisin, fig and date flavors. Long on the finish and chocolaty tasting, with raisin and a lightness of being. Sweet within the style, but not unctuous or candied. — Michael Schachner

The NV Alvear Cream is a fortified Sherry that spent more than 10 years on average in American oak casks. It offers a fig, caramel, nutty style, with just a hint of cheesy, sour, Rancio character adding some interest and additional character. It’s medium to full-bodied, thick and sweet on the palate, with plenty of charm.
