Ponte Sherry

Ponte Sherry Wine Details
Price: $26.00 per bottle

Description: This is Ponte Winery's version of the famous, fortified wine from Spain. The four types of Sherry are fino, the driest type of Sherry, Manzanilla, a fino Sherry made around the port of Sanlucar de Barrameda, Amontillado, a Sherry aged under a layer of yeast then exposed to oxygen, producing a darker color, and finally a sweet Sherry. Ponte's Sherry mostly resembles the sweet type, with a deliciously nutty flavor reminiscient of buttered popcorn and caramel. Traditionally an after-dinner drink, we've found that our Sherry is lovely over ice and served with appetizers such as salty cashews and Spanish olives. Try Sherry with a white chocolate dessert for a little piece of heaven!

This wine is THE BOMB if you like very sweet wines. It resembles the taste of sweet raisins. Lovely!
