MEDIUM DRY (500ml)

Cheese before dinner, cheese after dinner, cheese for dinner….

This is best served chilled.

XECO is the brain-child of three 30-something 'fino fiends' who have long shared a love of fine sherry - and frustration that this love wasn't shared by their friends. The solution? Find better friends (kidding!) OR - find a way to bring a ‘Next Generation’ sherry to their friends and the world, finally giving this marvellous drink some long-overdue recognition. With 30 combined years of experience in the drinks industry, the trio set out to create a new brand of Sherry to put a contemporary edge on an age-old product, and in doing so help to dispel some of the myths around the category, while encouraging a new generation of discerning drinkers to give Sherry a second look.

Beyond working to not only preserve and perhaps write a new chapter for this historic bevvie, the XECO gals are working hard to change some of the traditions in the region too. They’ve recently got approval to trial new cardboard bottle technology – a big step toward sustainability – which is no small feat in a place that does not like to change the rules!

The extra touch of sweetness on this one makes it the perfect after dinner treat, especially if you’re not up for full-on dessert. It’s just sweet enough to satisfy that little sugar craving.
