The wine region of Oloroso Sherry
Dry, oxidative Jerez style (Palomino, ageing without flor, fortified to 17°, second pressing more structured): Palomino is the exclusive signature fortified white king — amber to mahogany in colour depending on age, dominant walnut bouquet, toasted, balsamic and noble wood notes, golden tobacco and autumn leaves, full and glycerine-rich palate, long retro-olfaction, elegant dry finish. Solera evaporation (merma) 3–5%/year, serving temperature 20–22°.
The wine region of Andalousie
Dry, sun-baked southern Spain, world cradle of fortified and oxidative wines. Sherry from Jerez is the signature: Palomino Fino under a veil of flor yields lively, saline Fino with signature notes of almond, yeast, green apple and a sharp iodine edge; more maritime Manzanilla (Sanlúcar); unveiled Oloroso in grand oxidation (walnut, caramel, tobacco). Pedro Ximénez from Montilla-Moriles: intense dark sweet (fig, raisin, coffee, molasses). Also muscat Málaga.
The word of the wine: Maturing (champagne)
After riddling, the bottles are stored on "point", upside down, with the neck of one bottle in the bottom of the other. The duration of this maturation is very important: in contact with the dead yeasts, the wine takes on subtle aromas and gains in roundness and fatness. A brut without year must remain at least 15 months in the cellar after bottling, a vintage 36 months.
