Sacristia Oloroso 17

Rich and flavoursome Oloroso it's the exposure to oxygen causes the wine to darken and develop rich, nutty flavours that make it so different from dry, Fino sherries. And Valdespino stakes a claim as the oldest Sherry bodega the family have been involved in making Sherry for around 700 years. In the late 13th Century, a Spanish knight, Alonso Valdespino, was granted 30 hectares of vineyards by his king. From this small beginning the family established a reputation as an excellent source of the wine. The family business is located in Jerez, in some of the city's oldest and most attractive buildings. Unsurprisingly practices here are traditional, most notable is the fermentation, which takes place in cask for the vast majority of the harvest.
