Williams & Humbert Canasta Cream

Winemaking
Williams & Humbert Canasta Cream Sherry is a blend of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez Sherries, carefully aged using the solera method. This process results in a complex, smooth, and rich sherry with a balanced sweetness and depth. The wine spends an extended period in oak barrels, allowing the rich flavours to develop.

Bouquet
The nose is a luscious combination of ripe dried fruit, toasted almonds, and a hint of walnut, followed by a gentle touch of honey and spice.

Palate
Rich and velvety, with layers of dried fig, raisin, and toffee, complemented by hints of chocolate and a touch of walnut. The texture is smooth and full-bodied with a clean, satisfying finish.

Food Pairing
Pair with rich desserts such as crème brûlée, sticky toffee pudding, or a dark chocolate fondant. It also works beautifully with Roquefort or a selection of aged cheeses.

Cellaring
While best enjoyed young for its vibrant richness, this sherry can be cellared for a few years to develop more complexity. Once opened, it will last for several weeks when stored in a cool place.

Interesting Fact
The term 'Canasta' refers to a classic card game often played in Spain, and it’s said that the name reflects the blend’s ability to combine the best characteristics of two traditional sherry styles.
