This fifth annual release is unfiltered fino that’s bottled from two different soleras (the system by which sherry is produced) when the flor (the stuff that gives sherry its flavour) is at their thickest. Complex, nutty and definitely a change from expectations. When? Available now Where? Berry Brothers & Rudd, Lea & Sandeman, The Wine Society and other good wine merchants How?
