Description
Gonzalez Byass Elegante Medium Dry is a traditional Jerez blend that balances the nutty complexity of oxidatively aged Palomino Fino with the natural sweetness of Pedro Ximenez. Grapes are grown on the region's chalk-rich albariza soils and vinified separately before blending, with the Palomino component aged for an average of five years in seasoned American oak casks within the solera and criadera system. The result is a medium-bodied, off-dry sherry that marries richness and freshness in equal measure. Deep amber in colour, it opens with aromas of toasted almond, caramelised orange peel, dried fig and subtle wood spice. The palate is smooth and rounded, showing flavours of raisin, baked apple, toffee and candied citrus supported by a thread of acidity that balances the gentle sweetness and extends the finish. Bottled at 17.5% ABV, Elegante Medium Dry is a versatile food wine, pairing well with pâté, roast poultry, soft cheeses and nut-based desserts, and can be served lightly chilled or at cellar temperature.
