Tasting notes
Unfortified sherry aged in Bordeaux barrels resulting in decadent and intensely flavoured whites with character, electric acidity and charm. Think lemon, guava, candied ginger and chamomile decorated in white florals, vanilla and hints of savoury earth.

Expert review
Deep straw in colour with a complex, densely packed nose of jasmine, boiled lemon, guava, paw paw, candied ginger, hops and chamomile. There’s an interestingly sweet and earthy coffee-like note hiding in the background. In the mouth it’s voluptuous and deeply flavoured, spiced with ginger, vanilla and plenty of oak. A chew of fine tannin and well matched acidity freshens and tightens those curves. This is delicious drinking!
