Criadera Palo Cortado, Sherry
Barbadillo

Founded by Benigno Barbadillo in 1821 Barbadillo are the most important producers of Manzanilla. With 16 ageing cellars full of soleras they make excellent examples of the full range of Sherry styles. This delicious Palo Cortado comes from the younger part (Criadera) of the solera in the small 18th century La Sacristia Cellar and bottled unfiltered (En Rama).

Palo Cortado is one of the rarest Sherries starting life as a Fino or here as a Manzanilla aged unoxidized under the Flor, a blanket of yeast that floats on the surface blocking the air getting to the wine. In Palo Cortado the flor dies, and the wine is exposed to oxidation becoming a dark golden colour, rich and nutty, with the freshness of a Fino but the richness of an Oloroso. …

"Obispo Gascon" Palo Cortado 15 year old Sherry
Barbadillo D.O. Jerez
**92 Points- Robert Parker**

*92 Points- Robert Parker*

A 15 year old sherry wine. Attractive colour of antique gold. The aromatic complexity reveals toasted almonds, walnuts and raisins. On the palate it is pleasant, rounded and harmonious. Deliciously smooth and lingering.

The Palo Cortado sherries are particularly special within the Jerez-Xèrés-Sherry Designation of Origin. This is because despite the fact that production follows the similar physical-chemical process of oxidative ageing as with the olorosos, the result is quite different with their organoleptic characteristics falling somewhere between those of an amontillado and an oloroso. …

Laura Moscatel Sherry
Barbadillo
Half Bottle 37.5cl

When the Moscatel must has reached a certain degree of extended maturation, it is fortified with wine-based distilled spirit to bring the alcohol content up to 19%. Once clean and stable it passes to the criaderas where it is left to mature through the process of oxidative ageing. This is achieved through the oxidation of the wine whilst in barrel and racking within each tier of the criadera. This traditional system is characterised by the carefully orchestrated movement of wine between the soleras and criaderas within each cellar. With this particular wine, the ageing process lasts for a period of 5 years. …

Fino, Dry Sherry
Barbadillo

A superb Fino sherry, aged for a minimum of 3 years in Barbadillo’s cellars.

Barbadillo’s Finos are more Manzanilla-like in style, but are aged in Bodegas with less exposure to the cooling sea breezes. The flor in the barrels grows vigorously in these cellars so the wine is a little more nutty and toasty than the more appley and yeasty Manzanillas of Sanlucar.

TASTING NOTES
Straw yellow in colour. The classis fino aromas are revealed on the nose; nuts, olives and the evocative suggestion of a patient ageing process. In the mouth it is sharp and exhibits full body and perfect balance.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
The perfect accompaniment to tapas, …

Manzanilla Extra Dry Sherry
Barbadillo

Manzanilla is Barbadillo’s speciality and this excellent example has been aged for 3 years in Barbadillo’s cellars.

Fino style Sherries age under a layer of “flor” (a naturally occurring layer of yeast that grows on top of the wine in the barrel); this ensures the wines do not oxidise as there is no exposure to the air. The cooler maritime microclimate of Sanlúcar ensures flor grows particularly thickly all year round producing these very fresh, tangy Manzanillas, unlike the more oxidised Finos aged in the inland town of Jerez, where the flor dies back in the winter and summer months.

Oloroso Full Dry
Barbadillo

Olorosos are Sherries that have aged in the absence of flor and are rich and full. As the name indicates it is a highly aromatic wine with toffee notes. This Oloroso is very slightly sweetened to leave a smooth satisfying finish in the mouth.

A full dry Oloroso oxidatively aged in oak Sherry butts for 5 years to develop is concentrated nutty and dried fruit flavours.
