Bodegas El Maestro Sierra 15 Year Old Oloroso

Dry, nutty start. Hazelnuts, brazil nuts. Umami notes of beef stock and dried mushrooms. On the other end of this earthy, darker side there is a brightness of bitter oranges and fresh figs. A bit of toffee and echoes of spices (not unlike gingerbread, really nice).

On the palate it is medium-bodied, with a surprising lightness and ease to it. Good balance of acidity, a suggestion of caramel sweetness, lightly bitter notes (dried herbs, Seville oranges) and a soft, gingery … more

Bodegas Tradición Oloroso VORS 750ml

"The single vintage wines are different, but they are not necessarily better than the solera wines. In fact I preferred the Oloroso VORS to the two single-vintage; I found it more complex and fluid, while the single vintages were more concentrated and powerful, but not as nuanced. I?m talking about the NV Tradicion Oloroso VORS, on average 45-50 years old, which gives the wine a concentration of glycerin and dry extract that is amazing. Silky, very interesting to see the … more

Bodegas Tradición Palo Cortado VORS 750ml

"The NV Palo Cortado Tradicion VORS, averages 32 years of age, which they consider the correct age for Palo Cortado, so it is not just an old Sherry. Light amber-­??colored, the nose has a sweet sensation, apricots, and almonds but then the mouth is very dry and saline, fine and light, with flavors of hazelnut, a little varnish, very elegant, intense, pungent, a little spirity. It has a delineated palate, superb intensity, and very long finish. Classical, elegant, clean, intense … more

Callejuela la Hacienda de Dona Francisca 2017

"'Hacienda de Doña Francisca' is a specific small vineyard within Pago Callejuela, on the estuary side of Sanlúcar. The Albariza here is Tosca cerrada. The fruit is picked at full maturity, which only plays out to 12% abv due to the cool site and poniente breezes. The juice is fermented in old Manzanilla botas, and the resultant wine is aged on fine lees with 10% ullage for 7 months of ageing under velo de flor. The smaller ullage than typical … more

Delgado Zuleta Amontillado 'Monteagudo' 375ml. 18.5%.

Winery Notes - "This comes from the solera of manzanilla Zuleta. This wine begins as Manzanilla and therefore has a biological aging in a first phase, but after losing the characteristic layer of flor yeast it undergoes an oxidative stage. 100% Palomino variety, with about 8 or 9 years of aging in American oak casks, using the traditional Criaderas & Solera system.

It is clean and bright with an intense golden color. With very intense nose and nuances of biological … more

Delgado Zuleta Manzanilla Pasada 'La Goya' 375ml

Bottled, December 2018.

Fantastic value Manzanilla, and a great introduction to the dry end of Spanish Sherry. Light, flinty, salty, a little herbal (chamomile) with the tang of sea air that defines the manzanilla style. Bottled in screwcap & with the bottling date in English on the back. Delicious & progressive.

"We bottle and ship fresh every two months, to ensure this definitively crisp, refreshing young white wine is always in spanky form. Camomile and oyster-shell aromatics, Chablis-like mid-palate fruit, … more

Delgado Zuleta Palo Cortado 'Monteagudo' 375ml. 19%.

Winery Notes - "The most sought-after wine in the nooks of bodegas. It combines all the virtues of the best Amontillados on the nose and of the finest Olorosos in the mouth. It is a wine which was born by chance, the result of a mystery yet to be solved. Complex, very long equally suited for solitary meditation and lively conversation among friends."

100% Palomino variety. Initially this wine is subject to biological aging process, however, less than an Amontillado; … more
