The first sip of Barbadillo Cream Sherry wraps your palate in a velvety embrace, balancing lush notes of caramelized nuts, dried figs, and a gentle hint of orange peel that lingers long after the glass is set down. Crafted in Spain with meticulous blending of Palomino and Pedro Ximénez grapes, this sherry achieves its signature richness through traditional solera aging, resulting in a harmonious sweetness that never overwhelms. With an alcohol by volume of 17.50%, Barbadillo Cream Sherry finds its perfect match alongside bold blue cheese or decadent pâté, where its deep flavors elevate every bite into something truly memorable.
Producer Information: Barbadillo
Barbadillo, rooted in the coastal town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda in Andalusia, Spain, was founded in 1821 by Benigno Barbadillo and his cousin Manuel López Barbadillo after their return from Mexico. The family’s deep connection to the unique microclimate of Sanlúcar has shaped their approach to winemaking, particularly through their mastery of biologically aged wines influenced by Atlantic breezes and the Guadalquivir River. Their commitment to traditional solera systems and local Palomino grapes defines their Manzanilla style, while they also produce a diverse portfolio including Castillo de San Diego white wine made from 100% Palomino Fina, as well as red wines under the Gibalbín label from Cádiz vineyards. Beyond wine, Barbadillo crafts artisanal vermouths and brandies that reflect both regional heritage and innovative blending techniques specific to southern Spain’s sherry triangle.

Sweet/Dessert Red Wine is a category of wine characterized by its rich sweetness, often enjoyed as an after-dinner drink or paired with desserts. This style includes varieties such as Muscat, Zinfandel, and Port, which are crafted using techniques like late harvest methods to concentrate sugars or fortification to retain sweetness. Common flavor notes include ripe berries like strawberry and raspberry, dried fruits such as figs and raisins, along with hints of chocolate and spices like cinnamon.
The texture of Sweet/Dessert Wines is typically lush and velvety, offering a full-bodied experience with a smooth finish. Aromas can range from floral notes of rose petals to jammy fruit and vanilla undertones. These wines are often produced in regions known for their sweet styles, including Italy’s Emilia-Romagna for Lambrusco and Portugal’s Douro Valley for Port. Ideal food pairings include chocolate desserts, fruit tarts, cheese plates featuring blue or creamy cheeses, and even spicy dishes that complement the wine’s sweetness.
