Description
This oloroso is a great example of an oxidative sherry with a dark, full-bodied character.
TASTING NOTE: Beautifully developed amber hue colour. Here we have a pronounced nose of toasted walnuts. The palate is dry, rich with hints of dried nuts and baking spices, accompanied by 20% alcohol and a long finish.
PARING AND SERVING IDEAS: This would pair well with well-aged cheeses.
ABOUT: Williams & Humbert was founded in 1877 by Sir Alexander Williams, a great admirer and connoisseur of sherry products, and Arthur Humbert, a specialist in international relations. They own 250 hectares of vineyard in the Añina and Carrascal pagos or the vineyard zones where Palomino is the most traditional and predominant variety. “Palomino fino”, the most commonly used clone is well adapted to the chalky Albariza soils and the local climate and is resistant to parasites when cultivated correctly. Albariza soil has amazing ability to retain humidity and has a high limestone content and low level of organic material, which means that full development of the vine is achieved simply by the correct application of fertilizer.
