On Day 7 of #SherryWeek we have a sweet finish with Pedro Ximénez Aurora by @bodegasyuste Christmas pudding in a glass. It often surprises people that Pedro Ximénez is a white grape (as are all grape varieties used to make sherry) because of its dark, ebony colour. The grapes are picked late in the season and before pressing they are sunned to concentrate the flavours and sugar. This helps create the deep raisiny-figgy nose, and the oxidative ageing process adds depth to the slightly bitter toasted finish. Dark chocolate is the classic pairing, but a very easy way to enjoy PX is to just pour some over vanilla ice cream, or for some contrast try it with a lovely aged stilton. Paired here with deep dark and delicious flourless chocolate cake @vineriasantelmo, classic cabrales cheese @casamoralessevilla and a ricotta cream (cow and goat) with whisky-roasted grapes, whisky-cinnamon mango, topped with chocolate-finished blue cheese 💥 @fromagesdefermiers 🥂 #sherry #sherrylover #azaharsherry #tapas #sherrytapastour #sherryweek2022 #sevilla #sevillatapas #sherrypairing #sherryeducation #sevillasherrytasting #sherrytapastasting (at Sevilla, España.) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck48aRGDwjw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's Day 6 of #SherryWeek and we are enjoying special selection Canasta Cream 20 Años by @williamshumbert two ways: straight up and over ice with a slice of orange. Cream sherry is probably both the best-known and yet least appreciated of all the sherry wines. And it’s the one that always crops up when mentioning grannies and Christmas in those tired descriptions of what people perceive sherry to be. Cream is a blended wine of roughly 75% oloroso and 25% PX (percentages vary between bodegas) which results in a light naturally sweet sherry that is lovely paired with either sweet or savoury dishes. Today's pairings are a creamy duck & chicken liver paté @contenedor.restaurante, award winning Olavida cheese by @quesosybesos_ at @orfeosevilla and a payoyo cheese flan with roasted fennel and anise @espacioeslava 🥂 #sherry #sherrylover #azaharsherry #tapas #sherrytapastour #sherryweek2022 #sevilla #sevillatapas #sherrypairing #sherryeducation #sevillasherrytasting #sherrytapastasting (at Seville, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck2zLw4MxPj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On Day 5 of #SherryWeek we attempt to unravel the mystery of Palo Cortado with this lovely PC by @rociourium. For many years the origin of Palo Cortado was shrouded in mystery and to this day it refuses to be typecast. Typically described as combining the bouquet of amontillado with the body/palette of oloroso, I prefer to think of it as a more elegant oloroso. Similar to amontillado, palo cortado began life as a fino or manzanilla, meaning it was obtained from the first grape pressing (olorosos are usually from the second pressing). But unlike amontillado, very little time was spent under the protective flor, and in some cases the flor never grew at all. I personally get very little amontillado on the nose, but taste wise it is definitely more refined than the more robust oloroso. This means that for pairings you can go with lighter meat dishes, blue fish such as tuna, or cheeses. Delicious with this grilled presa Ibérica with pineapple soy sauce @barrabajarestaurante, spicy red tuna taco @azoteasevilla or steak tartare topped with caviar @lacayetanasevilla 🥂 #sherry #sherrylover #azaharsherry #tapas #sherrytapastour #sherryweek2022 #sevilla #sevillatapas #sherrypairing #sherryeducation #sevillasherrytasting #sherrytapastasting (at Seville, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckz2O4AD3Rp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
