Wine Description:
Valdespino's Single Vineyard Tío Diego Dry is a distinguished Amontillado sherry from the esteemed sherry house Valdespino, one of the oldest in Jerez, Spain. Originating from the single vineyard 'Macharnudo Alto,' this sherry benefits from albariza soils and a unique microclimate that lend the wine its distinct character. Produced through traditional solera and criadera systems, it starts as a Fino and matures into an Amontillado, undergoing both biological and oxidative aging. On the nose, Tío Diego offers a compelling blend of almond, hazelnut, and dried fruits, along with hints of salt and oak. The palate is dry, complex, and well-balanced, featuring a rich texture and an enduring finish. With its elegant structure and layered complexity, Valdespino's Tío Diego Dry is a prime example of fine Amontillado, perfect for sipping or pairing with a range of foods.

"Barbadillo Manzanilla Pasada Pastora" is a distinguished sherry from the renowned Barbadillo bodega, situated in the heart of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, a key area in the Jerez region famous for its unique manzanilla production. This Manzanilla Pasada is a special category of manzanilla that has undergone extended aging, surpassing the typical maturation period, which intensifies its complexity and depth. "Pastora" is part of Barbadillo's esteemed "Solear" range, originally launched in the late 19th century, and it's named after the iconic image of the "Pastora" on its label. This wine is aged under a layer of flor yeast for around 8 to 9 years, longer than standard manzanilla, in a process that occurs in the bodega's historic solera system. This extended aging in the humid, maritime climate of Sanlúcar imbues the wine with a distinctive character, blending the freshness of manzanilla with the nuanced complexity of a pasada style.
