  Bodegas Gutierrez Colosia Cream 75 cl 18%

  Item no.: 22227222-893

  Cream sherry is a hybrid - an Oloroso joined by sweet Pedro Ximénez, and the result is a sherry that unites two opposite worlds in one glass.

  Expert's Description

  Bodegas Gutierrez Colosia Cream is a Sherry from El Puerto de Santa María, Spain made from a blend of Palomino and Pedro Ximénez, bottled at 18% ABV.

  The wine is originally produced as an Oloroso, then sweetened with Pedro Ximénez, giving it its round, creamy character. The Cream sherry concept was originally developed for the English market, which preferred a sweeter style than the dry Spanish classics.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Concentration from the Oloroso combined with Pedro Ximénez that stirs the senses.

  Palate

  Rich, sweet and intense.

  Finish

  A lovely sweet finish with a fine length.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve chilled in a small dessert glass. Pairs with sweet treats like caramel cake or nutty desserts.

  Bodegas Gutierrez Colosia Oloroso 75 cl 18%

  Item no.: 22227222-891

  Oloroso is sherry's powerful counterpart to the light Fino - no flor layer, longer cask ageing and a depth that calls for an entirely different glass to enjoy properly.

  Expert's Description

  Bodegas Gutierrez Colosia Oloroso is a Sherry from El Puerto de Santa María, Spain made from the Palomino grape, bottled at 18% ABV.

  Unlike Fino, Oloroso is aged without the protective flor layer, allowing controlled oxidation and a deeper, more concentrated flavour. Despite its bone-dry style, the wine feels rich and creamy, with toasted aromas and a hint of orange peel that only comes with long cask ageing.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Toasted aromas and orange peel, with depth and intensity.

  Palate

  Full and dense, with a remarkable creamy concentration despite the dry style.

  Finish

  Good and persistent length.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve in large white wine glasses at 13-14°C. Pairs with strong, aged cheeses or air-dried ham.

  Did You Know?

  Oloroso means "fragrant" in Spanish - a slightly misleading name, since where Fino is all about freshness, Oloroso is about depth, strength and an intensity that develops over many years in cask.

  Diez Merito 30 year old Victoria Regina Oloroso Sherry Bodegas y Viñedos Díez-Mérito Spain 50 cl 20%

  Item no.: 22225555478-99632

  When Díez-Mérito was founded in 2006, they inherited something rare: the entire stock from Diez Hermanos, a house with roots back to 1876. Victoria Regina Oloroso is the result of that legacy - 30 years in barrel, concentrated to the extreme.

  Expert's Description

  Diez Merito 30 Años Victoria Regina Oloroso is a Sherry from Jerez, Spain made from the Palomino grape, bottled at 20% ABV.

  The sherry carries the VORS classification - Very Old Rare Sherry - which requires a minimum average age of 30 years in the solera system. Although Bodegas y Viñedos Díez-Mérito is a relatively young company, they're regarded among Jerez's top producers, partly because they took over the mature stock from Diez Hermanos Wineries, established in 1876. This edition of Victoria Regina Oloroso has scored 93 points from Robert Parker.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Very intense and powerful, with plenty of vanilla and nutty undertones.

  Palate

  Smooth and full, vigorous and lively, with a natural sweetness from the long oxidative ageing.

  Finish

  Long and warm, with a deep, mahogany-toned character.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve at around 16°C in a sherry glass. The wine pairs with game, red meat, cured ham and well-aged cheeses.

  Lustau Don Nuno Oloroso Sherry 75 cl 20%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278446

  Oloroso means "fragrant" in Spanish, and few sherry styles live up to the name better than Don Nuno - an oxidatively aged sherry allowed to develop for years without the protection of flor.

  Expert's Description

  Lustau Oloroso Don Nuno is an Oloroso Sherry from Jerez, Spain, made from the Palomino Fino grape with an alcohol content of 20%. Unlike the biologically aged sherry styles such as Manzanilla and Fino, Oloroso is aged oxidatively without protective flor, giving the wine a deeper, more concentrated character and a darker colour. Don Nuno is aged at Bodegas Lustau using the classic solera system, where the Palomino Fino grape - which the vast majority of sherry is made from - develops the complexity that defines a well-developed Oloroso over years in cask.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Inviting on the nose, with bitter chocolate and hazelnuts.

  Palate

  Full-bodied and complex on the palate, with a beautiful deep golden colour hinting at the long ageing.

  Finish

  The finish is long and concentrated, with a last nutty tone.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve at 14-16°C in a sherry glass. Enjoy as an aperitif or with mild and bold cheeses.

  Palate

  Full-flavoured and well-balanced with burnt toast, dried figs, walnuts and a salty, tangy edge.

  Williams & Humbert 15 years old Solera Especial Dry Sack 50 cl 20,5%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197279771

  When Alexander Williams rented a warehouse in Jerez in 1877 to start his own bodega venture with his brother-in-law Arthur Humbert, he could hardly have imagined that their 1906 blend would one day become the very benchmark for accessible, well-balanced sherry the world over.

  Expert's Description

  Williams & Humbert 15 Year Solera Especial Dry Sack is a Sherry from Jerez, Spain, with an alcohol content of 20.5%. Bodegas Williams & Humbert was founded in 1877 and has produced Dry Sack since 1906, the house's iconic blend of Amontillado and Oloroso with a touch of Pedro Ximenez. This 15-year edition is a Solera Especial, meaning the sherry has achieved an average age of 15 years through the solera system, giving it considerably more depth and complexity than the house's standard Dry Sack. The bodega has historically helped establish the quality demarcation for Jerez-Xeres-Brandy and is today counted among the world's most respected sherry producers.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Complex on the nose, with nuts, dried fruit and a light oxidative character.

  Palate

  Medium-bodied on the palate with a fine balance between dryness and a touch of sweetness from the Pedro Ximenez component.

  Finish

  The finish is long, nutty and warm.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve at 12-14°C in a sherry glass. Enjoy as an aperitif or with tapas, nuts and mature cheeses.
