Once poured, Almirante Oloroso shows a beautiful bright amber colour at a first glance. That’s the first step of its seductive game with the consumer, who receives after that a complex symphony of aromas followed by the characteristic super dry and powerful mouth of any Oloroso. This Sherry wine is made by an oxidative ageing over 17 years before being bottled. It is produced by Marqués del Real Tesoro, a brand with more than 100 years of history in the city of Jerez. Nowadays, it is owned by the José Estévez group, one of the most important in the region of Jerez..
