Valdespino Single Vineyard Tio Diego Amontillado Dry Sherry 75cl

Description

Valdespino's single vineyard (Pago) Macharnudo Alto is located five kilometres to the north-west of Jerez, in the privileged area of High Jerez. It is at 135 metres above sea level, with a south-east aspect and a 10 % gradient. The white 'albariza' soil is typical of Jerez DO.

An intense amber colour. The nose shows notes of both the biological and oxidative ageing, yeast, bread, but also dried fruits and ahint of toffee, caramel and leather. Very dry, very complex, with a generous body and well balanced acidity.

Bodegas Valdespino

Bodega Valdespino traces its origins to 1264, when Don Alfonso Valdespino received land in Jerez after aiding King Alfonso X. Though commercial activity began in 1430, the company was officially registered in 1875. Valdespino became Sherry purveyors to the Spanish Royal House in 1883 and the Swedish in 1932. They pioneered the use of "Sacristia" and produce Fino Inocente, the only Sherry from a single vineyard, fermented in oak and aged through ten Criaderas.

Andalucia

Andalucía, located in southern Spain, is a historically significant wine region known for its diverse and distinctive wines. The area benefits from a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters, ideal for viticulture.
It is most famous for its fortified wines, particularly Sherry (Jerez), produced in the Jerez de la Frontera area. Sherry is known for its unique styles, including Fino, Amontillado, and Oloroso, which offer a range of flavours from dry and crisp to rich and nutty. It also produces notable sweet wines, such as those from the Pedro Ximénez grape.
Historically, Andalucía’s winemaking tradition dates back to ancient times, with a strong influence from the Phoenicians, Romans, and Moors.
