Delgado Zuleta Medium Sherry 750ml

Medium sherry is produced by blending Dry Oloroso with Pedro Ximenez to a blend ratio of about 80/20. While the Dry Oloroso is an aficionado’s oloroso, the slight sweetness of this Medium Oloroso offers an interesting alternative.

The Atlantic influence and Sanlucar’s unique microclimate combine to increase the acidity, which helps carry the flavor through the long finish.
