Solera Texas Sherry
Tasting notes
Messina Hof Solera Sherry is a rich and complex dessert wine that has prominent aromas of caramel, hazelnut, and toasted coconut matched with opulent flavors of plum, chocolate, and baking spices.
Production notes
This wine originates from the Lenoir grapes grown at the Messina Hof Estate Vineyard in Bryan, Texas. Through delicate winemaking, it transforms into a luscious dessert wine. Unique from traditional Spanish sherries, our Solera Texas Sherry is naturally fermented and unfortified. It is slowly aged in oak barrels to bring out its creamy characteristics. At auction, Solera Texas Sherry raised $105,000 for a 9 liter bottle - record breaking for a Texas wine! Serve at 65°F.
