There's also an Amontillado and Oloroso but today we're trying the Palo Cortado, which is 12 years of age (like the others).

- [Manzanilla La Gitana En Rama (Hidalgo)](https://www.sherrynotes.com/2016/reviews/manzanilla/manzanilla-en-rama-la-gitana/) - The En Rama version of the best selling Manzanilla in the world This is the en rama version of the classic Manzanilla La Gitana, still the best selling Manzanilla in the world if I'm not mistaken.

- [Regente Palo Cortado (Sánchez Romate)](https://www.sherrynotes.com/2013/reviews/palo-cortado/sanchez-romate-regente-palo-cortado/) - One of the unique things about Bodegas Sánchez Romate is the fact that their primary profits come from brandy rather than sherry. I think this is actually beneficial for their sherry range: they have the luxury to be very relaxed about their soleras and haste is never a good thing when it comes to winemaking.
- [Dry Sack Medium (Williams & Humbert)](https://www.sherrynotes.com/2014/reviews/cream-sherry/dry-sack-medium-williams-humbert/) - A blend of Amontillado, Oloroso and P.X., brought together at an early stage Dry Sack is a popular brand of sweet, blended sherry, produced since 1906.

- [Fino Tres Palmas 2016 (Gonzalez Byass)](https://www.sherrynotes.com/2017/reviews/fino/fino-tres-palmas-2016-gonzalez-byass/) - Part of the yearly Palmas series from González Byass, this Fino Tres Palmas is an expression of 'flor in its most mature version'. It is 10 years old (six years older than the regular Tio Pepe) and at this age, only specific barrels maintain a healthy layer of flor, which would normally have started to

The wine starts its life with a 2-3 year period of biological ageing under a layer of flor, and then spends another ten years or so ageing oxidatively, slowly turning into an Oloroso.
- [Villapanés Oloroso Seco (Hidalgo)](https://www.sherrynotes.com/2017/reviews/oloroso/villapanes-oloroso-hidalgo/) - Villapanés is a rather savoury Oloroso with its own character and traces of biological ageing Within their premium range, Oloroso Villapanés is one of the younger and cheaper wines from Bodegas Emilio Hidalgo, but obviously that's only because their other wines are such old gems. This is the older sister of the Oloroso Gobernador, which is bottled around 12
- [Fino La Panesa (Hidalgo)](https://www.sherrynotes.com/2014/reviews/fino/fino-la-panesa-hidalgo/) - It's very rare for Fino barrels to still have an active layer of flor after fifteen years of ageing La Panesa is called Especial Fino on the label. It is indeed quite special: it's probably the oldest Fino on the market (this also means it comes at a fairly heavy price). Nowadays we feel spoiled by the excellent

The Moscatel grapes for this wine are grown in a vineyard called Las Cruces in the sandy soil near Chipiona, close to the coast, where Lustau grows only Moscatel and Pedro Ximénez. Like Pedro Ximénez, most of the Moscatel grapes are laid out in the sun to dry.
- [Antique Palo Cortado (Fernando de Castilla)](https://www.sherrynotes.com/2013/reviews/palo-cortado/antique-palo-cortado-fernando-de-castilla/) - The Antique Palo Cortado is a V.O.R.S. wine, although it doesn't want to carry the label The Antique Palo Cortado is among the oldest wines available from this bodega. It averages over 30 years in age, making it a V.O.R.S. wine although Rey Fernando de Castilla refuses to label their wines as such. It is

Grapes are grown on 30 year-old vines in the pagos Gibalbin and Santa Lucía in the Jerez Superior area. I've read there are 13 criaderas in this solera system (quite a lot for an Oloroso, even for

It is both a vintage sherry and a single vineyard wine, from the pago Miraflores in Sanlúcar

Part of that is due to our local importers who don't seem to have anything beyond 60. However in this case it doesn't really matter: an old Fino often benefits from a few years in the bottle. La Bota

At some point these rare wines were set aside and almost deliberately 'forgotten', only to be rediscovered now. The amounts are limited so the bottlings won't be continuously available.

- [Oloroso Añada 1997 (Lustau)](https://www.sherrynotes.com/2013/reviews/oloroso/oloroso-anada-1997-lustau/) - Vintage sherries or añadas are rare - they go against the regular flow of the solera system. Some of them are even produced quite differently and come closer to port wine than they do to other sherries. I'll come back to this in a specific article about vintage sherry. The Lustau Añada 1997 is the youngest of

In the past few years Williams & Humbert has been at

I've also seen (old) references to Australia. There is this Obsorne Oro 'Fresh & Dry' (supposedly a Fino) as well as an Osborne Oro 'Dark & Sweet' (which should be PX). Both have

For many years this region struggled to find its own identity next to sherry, but now they are specialist in Pedro Ximénez wines, especially older examples and vintages. The region is not only producing its own stunning examples but also producing the base wines used

I believe the first edition was laid down back in 1998 and bottled early 2000s, whereas in Jerez the first Fino de Añada didn't appear until 2015. It's not

They were thinking about widening their range and wanted to try a couple of Manzanilla Pasada bottlings head-to-head. Excellent idea, especially since they are all cracking wines and possibly some of the best Manzanillas on the market. Four Sanlúcar wines of around 10-15

- [Colosía Pedro Ximénez (Gutiérrez Colosía)](https://www.sherrynotes.com/2014/reviews/pedro-ximenez/colosia-pedro-ximenez-gutierrez-colosia/) - Pedro Ximénez grapes are picked over-ripe to maximize the natural sugars. This typically results in a must which contains around 300 grams of sugar per liter. However the over-ripe grapes are also dried in the sun before pressing (called soleo), which results in an even higher sugar contents of around 450-500 grams per liter in the must. The end

This rare wine serves as an excellent example: the Manzanilla Pasada Pastrana from Bodegas Hidalgo - La Gitana in Sanlúcar de

Laying down butts of vintage sherry wine is not an experiment for Williams & Humbert, who have been doing this for almost a century, but offering a series of wines at different stages of their aromatic evolution is certainly a brilliant new idea. We're

- [Fino Jerez '3 En Rama 2016' (Lustau)](https://www.sherrynotes.com/2016/reviews/fino/fino-jerez-3-en-rama-2016-lustau/) - Jerez de la Frontera is more inland than the other cities of the sherry triangle, and has a more extreme climate, with colder winters and sometimes enduringly hot summers. This results in a fuller Fino. The wine was selected from the bodega Los Arcos, built in 1862 and located in the city centre. It holds the

This city has a moderate climate and is the closest you can get to the sea in the sherry triangle. Hence intense coastal aromas and often a very typical diesel-like note, not
- [Manzanilla '3 En Rama 2016' (Lustau)](https://www.sherrynotes.com/2016/reviews/manzanilla/manzanilla-3-en-rama-2016-lustau/) - The first of our 3 En Rama trio is the Manzanilla, sourced from the coastal town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, on the estuary of the River Guadalquivir, where the sea breezes and the more moderate climate result in a beautiful freshness and yeasty notes. This wine is taken from the first criadera of the Manzanilla Papirusa, which is
- [The En Rama season is here!](https://www.sherrynotes.com/2016/sherry-news/en-rama-season-is-here/) - Springtime is here - traditionally an exciting moment for the sherry region: it is the season in which the flor is at its thickest, and therefore also the en rama season par excellence. Flor is a protective layer of yeast cells that lives on the surface of Fino and Manzanilla sherry wines and protects them from oxygen contact. With the
- [Lustau 3 En Rama 2016](https://www.sherrynotes.com/2016/sherry-news/lustau-3-en-rama-2016/) - Lustau is the first and only company to offer a range of three en rama sherries, one from each of the three towns in the sherry triangle.

- [Fino (El Maestro Sierra)](https://www.sherrynotes.com/2016/reviews/fino/fino-el-maestro-sierra/) - As often with sherry, it's hard to get conclusive information. The El Maestro Sierra website claims this Fino is 4 years old, while the US importers (and most other sources) have it at 6 years. In any case, it is aged in a solera of six scales (quite a high number for Jerez) and is typically

It was originally made for the American market (with more sweetness) but apparently they've toned
- [Oloroso 70 years (Xpertvinum)](https://www.sherrynotes.com/2016/reviews/oloroso/oloroso-70-years-xpertvinum/) - This is basically the same wine as the Oloroso 40 Years from Xpertvinum, but bottled from an older row of barrels in the solera. Having had a minimum of refreshments in the last few years, this wine is believed to have an average age of around 70 years. The problem with such old Oloroso wines is that they can

The Fino de Jerez '3
- [La Ina (Lustau)](https://www.sherrynotes.com/2013/reviews/fino/lustau-la-ina/) - After the liquidation of Pedro Domecq, Lustau bought six of their bodegas and the rights to some of their brands, including the popular Fino La Ina. While Lustau moved most of the Domecq soleras to their own premises, the 4200 cask solera that holds La Ina still resides in the old Domecq building. Lustau is afraid moving
- [Oloroso 40 years (Xpertvinum)](https://www.sherrynotes.com/2016/reviews/oloroso/oloroso-40-years-xpertvinum/) - Xpertvinum has recently presented two Oloroso sherries that have been bottled exclusively for them. I'm quite excited - I don't think this has been done by Belgian shops before and it proves they believe in a renewed sherry market in our little country. Both are sourced from the almacenista Josefa Pérez Rosado, which sold a big
- [Almacenista Manzanilla Pasada (Lustau)](https://www.sherrynotes.com/2013/reviews/manzanilla/lustau-almacenista-manzanilla-pasada/) - The Almacenista range is probably the best known range of Bodegas Lustau.

- [Xixarito Manzanilla Pasada En Rama (Barón)](https://www.sherrynotes.com/2015/reviews/manzanilla/xixarito-manzanilla-pasada-en-rama-baron/) - Bodegas Barón are considered one of the oldest (if not the oldest) bodegas in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. They say Christopher Columbus tried their wines, but that's probably wishful thinking. While they do have a long history, they're now run by a dynamic team of two young brothers, who recently had the labels redesigned. I think the Xixarito range

This house (possibly the oldest bodega in Sanlúcar) offers a whole series of Manzanilla: Atalaya, Micaela, Xixarito, Pino Viejo, Soluqua...

Forget that idea for a second: this Fino En Rama 2006 is a vintage Fino which matured in separate casks that haven't been refreshed. This is the first time a
