Gran Barquero 10 year-old Fino (375 ML)

With a pale yellow robe, this bright, refreshing fino has an aromatic nose bursting with almonds, “flor”, sour dough and cashews. On the palate it is pleasantly pungent with notes of the same “flor” mixing with bitter nuts and grapefruit zest.

Bodegas Pérez Barquero was founded in 1905 by 3 brothers from Northern Spain. The winery’s oldest solera dates from this year – and there are indeed still some bottles available! Under the direction of cellar master Rafael Córdoba, Pérez Barquero has built an International reputation as the top sherry producer in the appellation, earning numerous awards, including the only 100-Point rating from the Wine Advocate for a sherry. Their vineyards are located in the most valued high quality zones of the Sierra de Montilla and Moriles Alto, where the substratum is very rich in organic remains, allowing for optimal ripening of their grapes.
