product Details
Gilbey's South African Cream Sherry / Half Bottle
Cream sherry is a sweetened blend of Oloroso and Amontillado sherries, produced originally for the British palate.
This is a very old half-size bottle, approximately 37.5cl, from notable wine-merchant and distribution firm of W.&A. Gilbey, produced from South African wines - prior to formal geographical recognition and protection of the term "Sherry" being exclusively the fortified wines from Jerez, Spain.
We estimate this bottle to be from the 1930s though provide no guarantee of such.
