El Maestro Sierra shows again its mastery in the traditional production of sherry wines. This Oloroso has been made under an oxidative ageing by the typical solera system. Actually, it has been in 500 liters American oak barrels for 15 years, finally acquiring the structure and complexity expected in a very good Oloroso. It’s powerful and elegant at a time, and it offers a complete wine experience, especially if paired with matured cheeses. You can already tasted as a different matching for meat stews and game dishes.

Vintage tasted: N.V. (February 2013)
