Description

Oloroso Seco Faraon is aged oxidatively for several years in butts of American oak. The grapes are sourced exclusively from our own vineyards in Balbaina and Miraflores. Matured in casks of American oak in a “solera” or “fractional blending” system, in the coastal town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, maturation is an oxidative process; no flor grows since the wine is fortified after vinification. Then follows an average of seven years of ageing in cask, to give a dry and wonderfully complex wine.

Intensely rich with pervading walnut aromas. The palate is dry,intense, rich and deep with a long and powerful flavour. Dried figs, raisins, toffee and coffee, as well as orange peel, and a salty note on the nose. The palate was full and balanced, between a citrus and caramel character.

Hidalgo La Gitana

Bodegas Hildago La Gitana was founded in 1792 by Don José Pantaleón Hidalgo and since then the company has been passed down from father to son, and today it is one of the few wine companies in the area managed by the family and directed by the eighth generation in direct line of the founder. During the 19th century the company grew to become one of the most important producers of Manzanilla in the world.

Jerez

Jerez, located in southwestern Spain, is the heart of the Sherry wine production region, renowned for its exceptional fortified wines. The area benefits from a warm Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters, ideal for viticulture.
It is globally celebrated for its Sherry wines, including a range of styles such as Fino, known for its dry and crisp character; Amontillado, with its nutty and complex profile; and Oloroso, which offers rich, robust flavours. It also produces sweet Sherry wines, such as those made from the Pedro Ximénez grape, known for their luscious, raisin-like sweetness.
Historically, Jerez’s winemaking tradition dates back to ancient times, with significant development during the Moorish period and subsequent influence from Spanish and British trade. Today, it remains a cornerstone of Sherry production, blending centuries-old techniques with modern innovations to produce some of Spain’s most distinguished wines.
