An introduction to Sherry

'The NV Dry Oloroso Don Nuno is produced from Palomino grapes, fortified to 20%, and aged in American oak botas. Its heady, aromatic nose still has some fruity aromas from the grapes, intermixed with the noble woods, which comes through as a textbook, young Oloroso nose. The medium-bodied palate reveals very clean flavors of roasted nuts and a touch of brandy. It’s a good entry-level Oloroso, with good quality to price ratio. Drink 2013-2015.' – 87/100, Wine Advocate

Dry Sherry

This dry Amontillado acquires a genuine, rich and nutty flavour through years of ageing. Amber in colour, with hazelnut aromas on the nose.
Light, soft and round on the palate, with a long aftertaste.

The Los Arcos Amontillado is ideal as a warming aperitiff, with tapas, especially nuts and meats. It can also be served with a meal or any type of cold meat platter or richly flavored seafoods. It is best served lightly chilled in a copita or white wine glass.

Very dry with citrus pith and steely notes, this classic fino sherry is the ultimate aperitif with tapas. Deceptively complex it is virtually unrelated to Grandma's tipple of sweet Sherry, in fact it's so dry you will either love it or hate it. The only way to find out which is chill it on a hot afternoon and consume with green olives and salted nuts.

"Impressive is the superb non-vintage Manzanilla Papirusa. Its light straw color is accompanied by a spicy, nutty nose, elegant, dry flavors, delicious purity, and a smoky intensity. It would be fabulous with sushi. Drink it over the next year.' – Wine Advocate
