Description

"Destined, since its creation, solely for the consumption by the Delgado Zuleta family.  Its original soleras are located in the foundation bodega in Calle Carmen Viejo, in the suburb Bajo de Sanlúcar. Certified as VOS (Very Old Sherry), it is a classic amontillado from Sanlucar with fine and elegant noteson the nose and very suave on the palate..

FICHA TÉCNICA

A Very Old Sherry, generous and very old, with more than 20 years in an oxidative crianza, pero que en sus inicios tuvo crianza biológica. Made from 100% palomino grapes in a typical and traditional criadera/solera system. American oak barrels are used. It has 20% alc/vol. 

NOTA DE CATA

De color ámbar limpio y brillante, con reflejos y ribete verdoso. En nariz es intenso y limpio y a la vez muy profundo. Presenta aromas propios de la crianza biológica evolucionados, con ciertas notas de cítricos y maderas nobles. En boca es seco, con un paso inicial fino, para dar lugar a un largo final en el que las notas oxidativas están presentes.

MARIDAJE

Un vino muy gastronómico. Dada su versatilidad, sus múltiples matices, su estructura y su suavidad en boca, puede acompañar una comida desde el principio con los aperitivos hasta el final, en armonías cada vez más apreciadas por los sumilleres, con los postres. Perfecto para guisos de legumbres, cocidos y estofados.

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Delgado Zuleta

Delgado Zuleta is the oldest, still active, producer of Sherry. Most Sherry is produced in Jerez but there is a smaller town of Sanlucar de Barrameda, which is more coastal, still permitted to produce Sherry wines, this is where Delgado Zuleta is set up. They have been producing top quality Sherry wines since 1744. The forefront of Delgado Zuleta's portfolio is of the Manzanilla Sherries.

 

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Palomino

Palomino is famous for its usage in the fortified wines of Sherry where it is the base for everything from Fino to Oloroso sherries. As a white wine it is often bland but great examples of Palomino are zesty with fresh lime and green apple flavours.


 

--------THE REGION--------

Sanlucar de Barrameda

This is an important part of the small region in the southwest of Spain that makes the legendary fortified wines of Sherry. There are actually three towns that make up the Sherry region.  Jerez, the most famous and important town with Sanlucar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa Maria the other two.  Manzanilla is a DO in Sanlucar de Barrameda and that wine is known as Fino in Jerez.
