Sanchez Romate, D.O. Jerez
Sherry is an Anglicisation of Jerez, the central town in the south-west corner of Spain. In it's time it has been invaded by Ottomans, Romans, Huns and the Moors. While these left some splendid architectural traces and pretty ceramic tile work, 400 years or British merchant dominance has celebrated, entrenched and refined the production of the diverse group of lightly fortified wines which today we call "sherry".

Fine, with great mouthfeel and a clean snap to finish. Very dry and delicious, with almond, briny green olive, chalk. |

Pretty and elegant - mahogany, hazelnut, roast almond in a dry, spicy palate with trace of green olive. Long+.In our judgement, a close to perfect Amontillado, achingly dry and spare. |

Rich with woody-nutty walnuts and quince fruit. Soft, round middle given grip by oak. Delicate, languid, spicy to finish. Very good example of the dry-but-glyceric richness of Oloroso. |

Palo Cortado is the weirdest of sherry classifications: a mixture of Oloroso aromatics and the lean drive of Amontillado. Formed when Fino barrels fail to conform to style, Palo Cortados are defined by being neither Oloroso nor Amontillado, but halfway in between. Great sherry to serve with meats. |

Oloroso plumped with 15% PX. Walnuts meet prune juice - very good balanced sweetness. Really excellent wine to serve cool with mixed cheese plates. |

Very old, but nervy material, thanks to the lovely fresh natural acidity which is a feature of Moscatel. Rich and heady, with dried fruits and fresh motor oil. Balanced, silky back palate, drying finish. |

Raisiny, prune juice, chocolate dates - rich, sweet, viscous, spice and through-line, gentle grip to off dry finish. |

Meaning 'the lost' Fino, Perdido borders the line between Fino and Amontillado, deep gold, rich and dry with fresh baked apple pie aromas. |
