Established officially in 1875, Valdespino is one of Sherry’s most historic houses, dating back to 1264 when the conquering knight, Alonso Valdespino, was rewarded with 30ha of land. Today, Grupo Estevez owns and directs this traditionalist gem. The great cru, Macharnudo Alto, is the source for the unequaled Fino “Inocente,” Amontillado “Tio Diego,” and Palo Cortados “Calle Ponce” and “Cardenal”.
- Winemaker: Victoria Frutos
- Grapes: Palomino, selected from the Tio Diego solera, with the addition of 5% Pedro Ximenez.
-
Terroir: Variations on Albariza; a crumbly, water-retaining soil with a very high chalk content.
-
Vinification: The wine passes through 10 criaderas over 17+ years (~10 years under flor and 7 years oxidative aging).
- Tasting Notes: This off-dry Sherry has aromas of roasted walnuts, burnt honey, salted almonds with a deeply mid-palate with weight and concentration.
