Harveys Bristol Cream is a global icon of sherry — created in 1882 by John Harvey II and his brother Edward, granted the Royal Warrant shortly after, and crafted ever since from a meticulous selection of over 30 blends of Fino, Oloroso, Amontillado, and Pedro Ximenez. Aged in American oak casks using the traditional solera and criadera system, this is a cream sherry of genuine depth, richness, and silky mellow smoothness that has made it one of the world’s most recognised and beloved fortified wines. Best enjoyed chilled at 12°C in a wine glass, or over ice with a slice of orange. 80% Palomino, 20% Pedro Ximenez.
