Fortified Wines

The best Fino on the market, single vineyard (Macharnudo district) and barrel-fermented, a bit fuller bodied than most. A perfect accompaniment to smoked fish (and almost any other fish dish) as well as being a delightfu...(read more)

The best PX available. So rich, so sweet and yet so moreish. (Must be tried poured over ice cream with raisins soaked overnight in PX)

Very dry Amontillado, aged fifteen years with complexity and intense rich flavours on the dry finish. Among the Jerezanos this is the most popular of the Valdespino wines. Fabulous with 'jamon serrano'.

A rich take on Verdelho with orange peel rather than citrus rind, and some aromatic woods thrown in for good measure. On the palate this is sappy, mildly nutty, nicely intense, very balanced—a pretty Verdelho

The Barbeito 5 Year Old Malvasia is a masterclass in balance. While Malvasia (or Malmsey) is traditionally the sweetest and most luscious of the Madeira styles, Barbeito manages to anchor this dessert wine with a seam of...(read more)
