Canasta is the leading
Cream Sherry brand in the Spanish market and now there is a special version. The normal Canasta is made from
grapes from Balbaina and Carrascal. The resulting wines are then blended and
aged as a blend in solera for over 6 years. The new VOS is simply the same wine
but aged for a minimum of 20 years and bottled en rama. The recommended retail
price for Spain is 25 euros. The 50cl bottle is in the same style as the other W&H
VOS and VORS wines and while the presentation has been simplified it is very stylish and elegant. There are very few old Cream Sherries around, so this one is well worth
seeking out.
A blog and review on all things Sherry. It is about tasting, enjoyment and learning more about the World’s Finest Wine. "Sherry is a thoroughbred" as Javier Hidalgo rightly puts it. Included are the amazing local Brandies and the remarkably good table wines also produced in the province of Cádiz.
