Spain

Straw yellow colour with golden reflections. A potent aromatic intensity stands out in the nose, with hints of peach, melon and floral touches which are typical of the grape variety. Preserved fruit notes stand out in the mouth. Broad structure with a good balance between acidity and sweetness. Serve at: 15-17ºC.

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.

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.

The benchmark Fino. Dry and supremely tangy, with incredible depth.

A classic Pedro Ximenez from Barbadillo that offers concentrated aromas of plums, raisins and dark chocolate that are echoed on the palate. Try pairing this sherry with chocolate-based desserts or Foie-gras.

Off-dry and nutty

Cream Sherry is an Oloroso that has been sweetened with the Pedro Ximénez grapes. Rich, dark and sweet, with traditional Cream character.

NOTE: THIS IS A HALF BOTTLE (37.5cl) 100% Moscatel from Lustau’s vineyard “Las Cruces” in Chipiona. Aged for 8 years in Jerez de la Frontera.

This is an oloroso which has been sweetened with a touch of Pedro Ximenez to create a style of sherry called 'amoroso'. This name, which means 'loving', acknowledges the smoothness achieved through the long aging period. A beautifully balanced and silky sherry with notes of plums and dried fruits.

Barbadillo Pale Cream is a young Manzanilla that has been aged in American oak casks for three years in the Solera system. It is then blended with a sweet Moscatel wine and fortified to 17.5% before being fined, filtered and bottled. Golden colour with a familiar Manzanilla and ripe sultana fruit nose. On the palate it is rich and pleasantly cloying with a long sweet finish.

Néctar shows an intense ebony colour with iodine tones and intense legs due to high sugar content. On the nose rich aromas of fruits such as raisins, figs and dates accompanied by honey, syrup and fruit preserve. On the palate velvety and smooth with good acidity which alleviates the sweetness. Long and flavourful finish.

Note: This is a half bottle (37.5cl) This delicious Pedro Ximenez has a liquid Christmas cake character, great depth and a lovely flick of acidity on the finish which serves to emphasise the unctuous sweetness and flavours of dried fig and raisins.

Nose: relatively close to a Fino in the sense that it shows similar chalky / yeasty notes and a pungent salinity. Maybe a little more delicate, with a lot of rounder notes as well: a little caramel and dried apricot. Hazelnuts and almonds. Hints of honey, old wood and subtle oak polish. Mouth: very un-sweet of course, but it lacks the austerity that sometimes comes with dry Amontillado. Quite light with few flavours that really stand out. Orange peel. Almonds. Medium acidity. Some half-sweet notes in the background (think figs and citrus). Also a faint bitter edge of chestnuts.

Mahigany colour with a walnut aroma. On the palate it is dry with pronounced nutty flavours that give way to a long, smooth finish

NOSE Coffee and dark chocolate. PALATE Very sweet with a super thick texture. Appealing almonds/amaretto character. Subtle taste of figs. FINISH Caramel and toffee. Long, thick, and mouth-coating.

Leonor Palo Cortado is the latest addition to the superior range. Aged for over 12 years it has fine aromas of wood, vanilla and almonds. The palate is nutty and perfectly integrated with a long finish.

Young wines from Pedro Ximenez grapes dried in the sun are used to elaborate this fine, sweet liqueur wine aged 24 months in French Vosges oak barrels.

(Note this is a half bottle 37.5cl) Well rounded but tangy, saline, nutty with traces of acidity and tannin, those crisp Manzanilla characteristics lie just below the calm Amontillado surface. Very complex and interesting with a dry saline, nutty finish.

Amazing depth of flavour in this suepr-deluxe Oloroso.

Ideal for those who appreciate rich, full-bodied sherries, this unfiltered oloroso boasts intense flavours of dried fruit, nuts and subtle spice. Its complex character works well with chesses, desserts or as an aperitif.

Light and delicate with complex layers of flavours. Amazingly balanced fruit, nuttyness and salinity. Bone dry, crisp and a really long finish. Marvellous stuff. Aged for 15 years.

A beautiful everyday Oloroso!
