✨ wine.spec_sheet
Averys of Bristol, established in 1793, has a legendary history intertwined with the importing and bottling of fine Sherries from Andalucia, Spain. Bristol Supreme Sweet represents the historic Cream style of Sherry that became immensely popular in the United Kingdom. Historically, Bristol merchants imported casks of dry Oloroso and sweet Pedro Ximenez directly from Jerez, blending them to create a rich, smooth, and deeply satisfying dessert wine. This wine showcases the traditional solera aging system of Andalucia, where wines of different ages are systematically blended over years in oak casks, resulting in a complex profile of raisins, toffee, walnuts, and warm spices. It stands as a tribute to the centuries-old maritime trade connection between the port of Bristol and the sun-drenched vineyards of southern Spain.
