#sherryweek2021

It’s day 7 of #SherryWeek and we are finishing off with Christmas pudding in a glass. It often surprises people that Pedro Ximénez is a white grape (as are all three 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. Here we have paired Bertola PX @bodegadiezmerito with a payoyo blue cheese (Andazul) at @tabernamanolocateca, sweet and salty cheese cake at @palo_cortao and dark ‘fluid’ chocolate cake at @lalola_sevilla #sevilla #sherryweek2021 #sherry #sherrylover #azaharsherry #tapas #sherrytapastour #sherrytapastasting #sevilla #sevillatapas #sherrypairing #sherryeducation #sevillasherrytasting #sherrytapastasting (at Seville, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWPwsP2MMoR/?utm_medium=tumblr

Poor Cream sherry! It is at once probably the most well-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. But if you really want to know about cream sherry then keep reading. First of all it’s 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 slightly chilled on its own (l especially like it over ice with a slice of orange) and paired with either sweet or savoury dishes. Today we’re pairing Eva cream by @bodegasbarbadillo with a light as air cheese cake (w/ a touch of cabrales) at @cerveceriasalmedina , figs filled with payoyo and topped with jamón de pato at @amara_sevilla and roasted pineapple with ice cream at @platojondo #sevilla #sherryweek2021 #sherry #sherrylover #azaharsherry #tapas #sherrytapastour #sherrytapastasting #sevilla #sevillatapas #sherrypairing #sherryeducation #sevillasherrytasting #sherrytapastasting (at Seville, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWNlDu5sxpj/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 4 of #SherryWeek features oloroso, which is aged oxidatively without the velo de flor protection so, while still a dry wine, it maintains its original residual sugars and glycerine. This results in a fuller, round nutty flavour that goes great with meat and game dishes. Today we are pairing gorgeous oloroso by @rociourium with the famously unknown punta al galope at @barlasgolondrinastriana, THAT pringá montadito at @bodeguitaromero and fall off the bone cola de toro at @casa_roman 💥 #sherryweek2021 #sherry #sherrylover #azaharsherry #manzanilla #tapas #sherrytapastour #sherrytapastasting #sevilla #sevillatapas #sherrypairing #sherryeducation #sevillasherrytasting #sherrytapastasting (at Seville, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWIIl4yMCnF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Welcoming day three of #SherryWeek with amontillado, probably the most versatile of sherry wines as it has "lived two lives", first aged biologically under flor and later oxidatively, so it has characteristics of both ageing processes. Basically this means that whatever you can pair with finos and olorosos would also be a good match for amontillado. But where amontillado shines is with difficult to pair foods such as artichokes or asparagus. Today I have chosen this gorgeous red tuna with green apple and lime granita on yellow salmorejo @tradevosevilla_ , seasonal sautéed níscalos at @cocheradelabuelo and grilled artichokes with portobellos at @barrabajarestaurante #sevilla #sherryweek2021 #sherry #sherrylover #azaharsherry #manzanilla #tapas #sherrytapastour #sherrytapastasting #sevilla #sevillatapas #sherrypairing #sherryeducation #sevillasherrytasting #sherrytapastasting (at Seville, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWFj6bIMJNK/?utm_medium=tumblr
