Tres Coronas Tipo Jerez (1L, 17%)

Tres Coronas Tipo Jerez is a Mexican sherry-style fortified wine made from Palomino grapes and bottled at 17% ABV in a 1-litre format. Produced by La Madrileña in Mexico City, it is fortified with cane and grain spirits and undergoes oxidative ageing, with natural flavour and caramel colour added to round out the profile. The wine is deeply sweet and viscous, leaning closer to cream sherry than dry fino. On the nose there are roasted nuts, brown sugar, dried fig and dark caramel. The palate brings dense raisin and caramel, baking spices, molasses-like richness and a toasted, nutty structure. The finish is medium in length, with warm lingering sweetness and traces of dried fruit and brown sugar.
