Sherry

I always get excited tasting the En Rama releases each year because these raw, unfiltered, and somewhat challenging wines are more food-friendly, combative, and connoisseur-style than the all-year-round, much tamer, filt...(read more)

Light, pale, fresh, crisp, a delightful summer aperitif, and like the Inocente, should be tried with fish, which it accompanies much better than many of the classic matches (Chablis, Sancerre etc...).

Relatively pale for an Oloroso. Rich and round on the attack but in fact totally dry. Notes of green olives, turning to a nutty and very long and intense finish. Delicious. (This is the base wine for GB's Mathusalem)

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)

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'.

Bottled a few days ago. From the Machurnado vineyard. They have decreased the average age by a couple of years so it’s seven or eight years on average and the wine is more refreshing and not so uncomfortably concentrated...(read more)

Viticulture Outstanding for being a single-vineyard single vintage wine: it has been sourced from a selection of musts coming from grapes harvested in 2010 in the Pago Miraflores La Baja, in Sanlúcar de Barrameda,...(read more)

Working only with PX, Ximénez Spinola display great technical skill and brilliance … absolute masters of their craft! This bottling is from a combination of single vintage casks (2009/2013/2015/2019) blended to

'Less than a pound for every year we have been looking after it!' exclaimed Firmin Hidalgo while we tasted together and he discovered our price for this cracking sherry. Indeed although they legally have to state this is...(read more)
