Established in 1821 by brothers Benigno and Mario Lopez Barbadillo after a 20 year stint in Mexico, the family still continue to make fine Sherries to this day It seems that sherry, that old-fashioned and indeed unfashionable fortified wine is making something of a come-back Sales around the world appear to have increased many-fold for a wine that is often associated with and was often seen around the time of our parents or grandparents For unknown reasons sherry just fell out of favour with recent generations, a trend that is now being reversed as it is once again being sold in bars and restaurants, featured on television by award-winning chefs, and seen as an ideal accompaniment to a variety of food styles, especially desserts, cheese, dried fruit and seafood The Barbadillo Pedro Ximinez Sherry is dark, sweet and full of flavour Able to be enjoyed either at room temperature or chilled on a warm evening, this luscious Spanish wine is smooth and silky, and you will be looking for a second glass to continue the experience Like fruit cake in a bottle, it has lovely tones of almonds, raisins and prunes |
