Manzanilla

A type of Fino but lighter still. Appley, yeasty and slightly saline with a very light body, typically 3 to 4 years old. Only produced in Sanlúcar de Barrameda where the Guadalquivir river reaches the coast, and where the humidity makes the ‘flor’ grow vigorously all year round. Best with lighter dishes like olives, almonds, jamón and seafood.

AMONTILLADO

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.

PALO CORTADO

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 an enduring bone dry, rich, round and smooth Oloroso finish.

Leonor
González Byass
75ml 6.00
Intense aromas of toasted almonds, hazelnuts, linseed oil. Biologically aged throughout its 12 years. Persistent and smooth, long finish.
94/100 + Gold - IWC

Romerito
75ml 7.50
Intense and concentrated, walnuts, orange zest and dried fruits with a slight salty tang on the finish. Very long and complex.

Apóstoles
González Byass
75ml 9.50
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.
Gold - Decanter | Gold - IWSC | Gold - Mundis Vini

OLOROSO SECO

Fortified from the outset with no time for the ‘flor’ to develop, these wines are darker and richer, best for 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.

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.
Grand Gold - Mundus Vini

Solera 1847
75ml 5.00
25% PX added to a dry Oloroso. Black fruits and raisins, yet a fresh finish.

Matusalem
González Byass
75ml 9.50
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.

MOSCATEL

Produced from very ripe or raisined grapes and oxidatively aged. Harvested late, the overripe grapes are often dried in the sun for up to three weeks, a process called asoleo. Fermentation is stopped by fortification early in the process. A naturally sweet sherry with a delightfully fresh, grapey style.

PEDRO XIMÉNEZ

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 light to dark. PX is also used to sweeten other styles.

Exceptional Harvest
Bodegas Ximénez-Spinola
75ml 6.00
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 rich fish and seafood dishes.

Bodegas Ximénez-Spinola Vintage
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 5.00
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.
Gold - IWC
