FREESTYLE / ESTILO LIBRE
Choose any 3 sherries to make your own flight.
A type of Fino but lighter still. Appley, salty and yeasty with a very light body, typically 3 to 4 years old. Only produced in Sanlúcar de Barrameda where the Guadalquivir river reaches the coast, where the humidity makes the ‘flor’ grow vigorously all year round. Best with lighter dishes like olives, almonds, jamón and seafood.
Domecq
75ml 4.50
Light, nutty and yeasty with an apple freshness. Best with fish, cured meat, nuts and seafood.
La Bota ‘I Think’
Equipo Novazos
75ml 5.75
An ‘en rama’ (from the barrel) bottling of manzanilla – brisk, saline and tangy yet deliciously easy to drink.
Guía Peñín 92/100
Robert Parker 92/100
Very dry and crisp with hints of almonds and a delicate, fresh yeasty flavour. Produced inland where it’s hotter, typically 5 to 6 years old. Among the greatest food matching wines, Fino is highly versatile and works superbly with a wide range of dishes.
Tío Pepe Fino
González Byass
75ml 4.50
Classic very dry all-rounder – perfectly balanced and amazingly versatile.
Guía Peñín 94/100
Puerto Fino
Bodegas Gutiérrez Colosia
75ml 5.00
From El Puerto de Santa María on the southern coastal point of the sherry triangle.
Delicate, almond aromas, dry and light with a saline character.
Silver - IWC
Starts life as a Fino, then after a number of years the ‘flor’ dies away and the wine takes on an amber colour, darkening with age from wood and oxidation and developing a pungent nuttiness. Released from around 10 years old. Still very dry, light to medium bodied. Superb with cheese and cured meats.
Viña AB
González Byass
75ml 4.75
Dry, savoury and focussed, almonds and hazelnuts, 12 years old, very precise.
91/100 - Wine Spectator
Xixarito
Bodegas Baron
75ml 6.50
Rich hazelnut aromas, dried fruits, hints of smoke and nuts. Deep, mature and complex with balanced acidity.
Del Duque
González Byass
75ml 9.00
Minimum 30 years old. Packed with almonds, hazelnuts, orange peel,
dried apricots and a saline backbone. Incredibly fresh and complex
with a warm tobacco length.
95/100 - Decanter
A rare variety of sherry that is initially aged under ‘flor’, destined to become a Fino or Amontillado, but inexplicably loses its veil of flor and begins ageing oxidatively as an Oloroso. Delicate and hazelnutty on the nose like an Amontillado, yet with the enduring bone dry, rich, round and smooth Oloroso finish.
Leonor
González Byass
75ml 5.00
Intense aromas of toasted almonds, hazelnuts, linseed oil flavour.
Biologically aged throughout its 12 years. Persistent and smooth, long finish.
Gold - IWC
La Bota No 102, Palo Cortado ‘Sanlúcar’
Equipo Navazos
75ml 9.75
Boasting a minerality unique to the coastal vineyards of
Sanlúcar de Barrameda, excitingly refreshing and very drinkable,
with increasing complexity with every sip. Staggeringly good.
19/20 Jancis Robinson MW
Apóstoles
González Byass
75ml 9.00
Layers of mouth-watering flavours; dried fruits, cedar, with cream caramel
and coffee notes from the twist of a touch of PX. Beautifully luscious texture
with a long, rich finish. 30 years old; very special.
95/100 - IWC
Fortified from the outset with no time for the ‘flor’ to develop, these wines are darker and richer matching full-bodied dishes and cured meats. Among the longest lived wines in the world, these are smooth and medium- to full-bodied, with a golden nutty fragrance, rich powerful palate and long, bone dry finish.
Alfonso
González Byass
75ml 4.50
‘The Fonz’ is a very dry wine around 10 years old, robust
on the palate, honey, caramel and grilled nuts but still
so smooth. Amazing food matching capability.
Silver - Decanter
Oloroso Seco
Bodegas Gutiérrez Colosia
75ml 5.75
Full-bodied, nutty with a strong and fragrant aroma.
Deep, rounded, super-smooth, delicious long finish.
95/100 Guía Penin
These are made in the same way as Oloroso Seco, and sweetened with Pedro Ximénez.
Cristina
González Byass
75ml 5.00
13% PX added to the Palomino base Oloroso, aged for 7 years
following the solera system. Bright amber colour, clean and sharp
raisin and wood aromas, balance and finesse. Best with cheeses and patés.
Solera 1847
González Byass
75ml 4.50
25% PX added to a dry Oloroso.
Treacle, black fruits and raisins but such freshness.
Matusalem
González Byass
75ml 9.00
Nuts and coffee on the wonderfully complex nose, rich deep chocolatey
palate with coffee and spice in the fantastically long finish from at least 30 years ageing.
Gold - IWC | 95/100 Decanter
A white grape whose resulting wine can range from light and dry, to intensely dark and sweet when sun-dried on ‘esparto’ straw mats and then aged for many years. These examples are each super-concentrated and showcase some of the range of styles possible. They are listed from relatively light and dry, to intensely dark and sweet. PX is also used to sweeten other styles.
Exceptional Harvest
Bodegas Ximénez-Spinola
75ml 5.50
Ultra-low yield PX but with a difference! Non-fortified, 4 months ageing on the lees.
Golden colour, light and intense, dry and fresh with jasmine aromas and ripe,
fleshy fruit, a touch of natural honeycomb sweetness on the finish. Best with fish and seafood.
Bodegas Ximénez-Spinola Vintage 2019
75ml 8.50
Since the sun-drying dehydrates the grapes, only 200 litres of ‘must’ are
obtained from every ton of fresh grapes. Vibrant amber colour, ripe grape
and raisin aromas. Fresh velvety palate with caramel, toffee, figs and
well-integrated acidity, very lengthy sophisticated finish.
Divine with desserts made from dark bitter chocolate.
Nectar
González Byass
75ml 4.50
Rich, sweet and velvety smooth. Complex flavours of caramel, dried fruits, figs, dates and treacle.
Powerfully sweet with voluptuous palate with a long finish. Amazing with blue cheese.
