Alvear Cream Sherry

Alvear Cream Sherry represents the pinnacle of traditional Spanish fortified wine craftsmanship, blending the rich heritage of Jerez with over 350 years of family winemaking expertise. This luxurious cream sherry is a masterful combination of aged dry oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherries, creating a perfectly balanced spirit with luscious sweetness tempered by complex dried fruit and nutty undertones. Each bottle is a testament to the solera aging system, where multiple vintages are carefully married to achieve a harmonious, refined expression that has made Alvear a revered name among sherry connoisseurs worldwide.

The appearance is an inviting deep mahogany, promising richness from the first glance. The nose reveals an enticing bouquet of raisins, figs, caramel, and roasted almonds, with subtle hints of leather and oak that speak to patient aging and careful blending. On the palate, the experience is velvety and indulgent—rich caramel and toffee flavors are balanced by the natural salinity and acidity from the aged oloroso base, preventing the sherry from being cloying. Notes of dried stone fruit, walnuts, and warm spice develop gradually, with a finish that is warm, smooth, and remarkably elegant, lingering long after the glass is empty.

Alvear Cream Sherry is perfect for savoring as a standalone digestif, paired with traditional Spanish accompaniments, or enjoyed with chocolate and nuts at the end of a meal. Whether you're a seasoned sherry enthusiast or discovering the category for the first time, this exceptional cream sherry offers sophistication, depth, and the distinctive character that only authentic Jerez tradition can deliver.

Alvear Cream is the winery’s most entry-level Oloroso. This is a classic Oloroso, which is produced from Pedro Ximénez base wine fermented to 15% in tinaja, and subsequently fortified (to prevent the growth of flor), before being submitted to an average of eight years of ageing in the system of soleras & criaderas. Before being racked to barrel, the wine is sweetened (100 g/L) with PX sweet wine, unlike other Creams on the market, which are sweetened with rectified-concentrated grapemust.
