Oloroso wines have a slightly higher abv thank other sherries, usually 17-20% to protect the wine during the long oxidation process of ageing. Dark mahogany in colour they tend to jump out of the glass with walnuts, spices and leather. More full-bodied than the others as a general rule but still with a dry finish.
Great with game dishes, beef or mushrooms.

The Sherries produced here are amongst the finest in Jerez - from the pale, dry and elegant fino to the most unique antique wines. Their is focus entirely on high-end, complex sherries - in the process they have upgraded the bodega to one of the most interesting and highly regarded of the small independent sherry houses in Jerez.
Produced from 100% Palomino Fino grapes in Jerez de la Frontera. The grapes are pressed and fermented in stainlesss steel until the wine reaches 11% ABV when the dry wine is fortified to 18% ABV. It is then matured, without the presence of flor, in oak casks according to the traditional solera and criadera system for 8 years.
Flor is a layer of yeast that builds up and sits atop the wine, creating a layer within the barrel to protect it from oxygen, it imparts a unique salty, yeasty character to the wines
