Diatomists Medium Sherry (Spain)

A 19 year old medium sherry in a 37.5cl bottle, blended from 90% Oloroso (Palomino) and 10% Pedro Ximénez, with five years together in bota. The colour is deep amber with an orange rim. The texture is velvety without being heavy, and the wine is both sweet and savoury.

It is meant to be served chilled, before or after a meal. The nose offers walnuts, marmalade and sultanas. On the palate come apricots and walnuts, and the finish is tangy and fresh, moving from bitter orange to fried corn and biscuit.
