Croft Original Pale Cream Sherry 75cl Bottle

Product Information

Croft sherries combine the depth and sweet finish of a Cream with the crisp features of a quality Fino. The powerful Croft Original Pale Cream Sherry from Spain is a single-varietal wine, pressed from the Palomino Fino grape variety.

A Croft is iconic in both taste and heritage – and that racing green bottle slots just as perfectly into the fridge today as it always did. This wine has a cork closure and is one of a growing number in our list that can be enjoyed by vegan drinkers. A first gentle pressing is applied to the Palomino grapes to obtain the 'mosto yema', the first and most delicate must. Drink this sherry from Spain ideally well chilled at 8 - 10°C as a companion to blackberry cream dessert, pear-lime strudel or banana trifle in a glass.
