The Wine The Wine
Spain
Region:Jerez
This wine bears the official V.O.S. qualification, certifying that it has been aged in American oak casks for a period of more than 20 years and is of exceptional quality. A rich style of sherry that has benefitted from ageing immensely, showing notes of hazelnut, walnut, raisin and date beautifully balanced by a racy citrus finish.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Javier Hidalgo
Javier Hidalgo, the sixth generation of the Hidalgo family, is the director of Bodegas Hidalgo La Gitana, Sherry-producer extraordinaire since 1792. Javier is a tireless promoter of his product. He commented, "We need to promote dry sherry as a wine to be drunk with food as the Spanish do, not a wine to be drunk on its own in a tiny glass, keeping the rest for next year, but in a big glass, chilled down, with food."
"92/100. Almost breezy, featuring a racy core of persimmon, dried nectarine and blood orange, lined with roasted walnut and cardamom notes. Puts on weight with aeration, showing smoke and pecan accents through a bone-dry finish." James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, July 2013
