Ormond Rich Cream 750ml

Ormond Rich Cream delivers a smooth, creamy palate with flavours of stewed berries, sweet spice, and rich muscat grape character. The nose offers fragrant aromas of ripe muscat, baked biscuit, warm spice, and subtle toasted nuts. The finish is lingering and rounded with gentle warmth and persistent sweet fruit notes.

Ormond Rich Cream is produced in New Zealand using traditional cream sherry-style winemaking techniques. The wine is crafted from ripe muscat grapes, which provide the aromatic intensity and natural sweetness characteristic of this fortified wine style.

This fortified wine pairs beautifully with blue cheese, aged cheddar, dark chocolate desserts, and dried fruit and nut platters. It also works well as a finishing ingredient in Asian stir-fries, where its sweetness balances savoury and spicy flavours. The rich, creamy character makes it an excellent companion to caramel-based desserts and fruit tarts.

Yes, Ormond Rich Cream works exceptionally well as a cooking ingredient, particularly for deglazing pans and adding depth to stir-fries as an alternative to rice wine. The sweet, fortified character brings complexity to savoury dishes while the muscat grape foundation adds aromatic richness to sauces and reductions.

Serve Ormond Rich Cream lightly chilled at 8-10u00b0C to highlight its aromatic profile and refreshing character, or at room temperature if you prefer to emphasize the wine's sweetness and warming qualities. Pour into small dessert wine glasses to concentrate the aromas and control portion size appropriately for this fortified style.
