Wine Suggestion
Region: Andalucia
Varietal: Sherry
Barbadillo, an established quality Sherry producer since 1821, continue to produce some of the ‘Jerez Triangle’s’ best examples for great prices. Proud to introduce their “reserve” level Pedro Ximenez, La Cilla, this exotic Sherry is made using sun-dried racking which imparts a luscious rainened flavour up front. On the wonderfully viscous palate, sultana flavours come to the fore with obvious notes of caramel. The wine is beautifully balanced with sweetness that is not over the top in any way. It holds its own against almost all chocolate desserts, including these Spiced Rum Chocolate Beetroot Brownies.
