A wine made with 100% Viura grapes from vineyards in Gimileo, late-harvested to obtain a slight over-ripeness. Viura is an indigenous grape from Rioja and one of the best for this specific winemaking. The good acidity obtained with this grapes avoids oxidation and gives to the wine a vibrant style. To make this wine, the resulting juice obtained after pressing is transferred to new American oak barrels (yes virgin barrels), where alcoholic fermentation takes place.In nose is easy to feel its complex aromas tropical fruits, citrus fruits, botanical notes and mint, in balance with delicate vanilla and toast aromas resulting from fermentation in American oak.In mouth it has a rich texture with excellent acidity, structure and flavour and a persistent tasty finish. This wine is perfect as an addition to any cellar as all of its qualities will improve with a period of bottle-ageing.

Barbadillo, established in 1821, continue to be a very important Sherry producer from within the 'Jerez Triangle' in south-western Spain. Well known for high class, quality Sherry's, this Cuco Oloroso is made in a slightly different way than what is considered the norm. An oxidative process is used to develop the nutty, complex characters into the wine instead of the usual Flor yeast system. This produces an intensely flavoured Oloroso with a rich and smooth texture and dominant walnut notes. The finish covers the palate with a dense, velvet like feel.

BODEGAS Y VINEDOS ARTAZU Pasos de San Martin Grenache, Navarra

Made from Palomino Fino grapes grown on chalky 'albariza' soils characteristic of Jerez, the grapes are pressed and fermented in stainless steel before fortification. The wine is first biologically-aged under flor yeast and then aged oxidatively, both in American oak barrels within a traditional solera system. The wine is around 7 years old on average, as soleras do not produce wines of a singular age due to continuous fractional blending over many years. Amber in colour, aromatic on the nose and soft notes of hazelnut on the palate. Enjoy in classic and modern cocktails such as the Adonis, Sherry Cobbler, Up-To-Date Cocktail, U.S.S. Wondrich, or Session Manhattan. Try swapping half the amount of vermouth for sherry in classic recipes for an added layer of complexity. About Fernando De Castilla: Bodegas Rey Fernando de Castilla is named after the thirteenth century king, also called "El Santo", who conquered much of western Andalusia. The eponymous king is said to have discovered the exceptional qualities of the soil and climate of the Marco de Jerez and its ability produce wines of exceptional quality. Despite the historical name, the bodega is relatively young in Jerez terms, having been founded in the 1960s by Fernando Andrada-Vanderwilde as Fernando III and then renamed in 1972. The Andrada-Vanderwilde family has been involved in winemaking in the area for two centuries, but Fernando initially focused on producing exceptional brandy before expanding to Pedro Ximénez and sherry vinegar. In 1999 Norwegian-born Jan Pettersen was able to realise his lifelong passion and, together with a group of investors, bought the bodega to produce high-end sherry.
