Tasting Notes

Matusalem is a cream Sherry aged for 30 years. It is classified as a VORS Sherry which is the highest age category from Jerez. Matusalem is a blend of 75% Palomino (Oloroso) and 25% PX. The wines are aged separately in American oak Sherry casks for 15 years and then a further 15 years as a blend. After 30 years in cask, it has acquired an intense mahogany color with profound aromas of dried fruits, raisins, spices and mature oak. On the palate smooth and sweet, long and velvety. This wine shows an interesting bittersweet finish due to the mix of the sweet Pedro Ximenez and the bitter tannins from the oak. Ideal with blue cheeses such as Stilton. Also perfect as a dessert wine with fruit pudding or apple pie.
