Pale and delicate, Croft Sherry is refreshingly crisp with an aromatic finish that makes it easy to serve – and even easier to drink. Once the grapes are harvested, sherry production starts life like any white wine – with the grapes pressed and fermented. It can be served chilled as an aperitif or paired with rich desserts such as chocolate cake or fruit tarts.With balanced fruit acidity, the Croft Original Pale Cream Sherry flatters with a velvety palate feel without lacking freshness. Whilst tradition remains, some producers are really pushing boundaries making Spain one country to keep coming back to.

Croft Sherries combine the pale, crisp features of a quality Fino with the added depth, body and sweet finish of a Cream, giving a lighter, refreshing alternative to traditional dark Sherries. It can be enjoyed as an aperitif with snacks, as a delicious alternative to dessert wine or simply on its own. The nose is sharp, with notes typical of organic aging (hazelnut, baking) and hints of flowers and fruit. Sophisticated in character, sweet and mellow in flavour, Croft Sherry is a classic drink that tucks you into a warm bed of nostalgia.After fermentation, classification and fortification the wine enters the Fino Solera, where it ages under a layer of 'flor', before being blended with pale, sweet grape musts and entering the Croft Solera.
