Morenita Cream Sherry
Morenita, which translates as “little brunette,” is also the local name for this sweet, amber-colored Sherry.
It is made in the traditional method of adding juice from dried Pedro Ximénez grapes to an Oloroso,
resulting in a sweet yet complex Sherry. Featuring intense notes of dried fruits and chocolate, this wine is
full-bodied yet refreshing with a delicate sweetness. Serve chilled or over ice.

Pedro Ximénez Sherry
Sweet and almost syrupy in texture, this wine is made from 100 percent Pedro Ximénez grapes that were
sun-dried immediately after harvest to concentrate the sugar levels and obtain a high-quality must. The
resulting Sherry is dark, almost opaque in color, with aromas of toast and dried fruit. On the palate, it is
dense, velvety, and sweet, with notes of raisins, figs and honey.
