Oloroso, Pata de Gallina 1/38, Juan Garcia Jarana, Jerez (Xerex)

Stockholder Don Jaun Garcia Jarana runs this 100 year old bodega as a hobby, his 300 butts including Finos, Amontillados and Olorosos. His main business is as proprietor of a company of a company called Two Wheels, importing Japanese motorcycles! Despite the apparent lack of synergy, or maybe because of it, his Olorosos are widely acclaimed. Dark in colour with aromas of dried fruits, this is a rich and concentrated wine. An Oloroso ( the word means 'fragrant' in Spanish) from the oldest solera, this would be equally at home with game or the cheese board.
