Intense, deep and complex. Shades of dried fruits (grape, figs and plums) can be perceived as well as those of coffee, cacao and exotic woods. Great structure in the mouth, thick, powerful and warm. Very persistent. Elegant memories of coffee and chocolate in the retro-nose.

Bodegas Pérez Barquero was founded in 1905 by 3 brothers from Northern Spain. The winery’s oldest solera dates from this year – and there are indeed still some bottles available! Under the direction of cellar master Rafael Córdoba, Pérez Barquero has built an International reputation as the top sherry producer in the appellation, earning numerous awards, including the only 100-Point rating from the Wine Advocate for a sherry. Their vineyards are located in the most valued high quality zones of the Sierra de Montilla and Moriles Alto, where the substratum is very rich in organic remains, allowing for optimal ripening of their grapes.
