About this WINE

Hidalgo

Hidalgo

Hidalgo is one of the few remaining family-owned independent bodegas and it still only uses grapes from its own vineyards. Its Manzanilla La Gitana is the best-selling Manzanilla in Spain but the firm`s best wines are its Amontillados. Hildago's Amontillado Viejo is an amalgam of new leather, figs, hazelnuts and soft vanilla fruit and is one of the greatest sherries in the world.

Recently Javier Hidalgo joined forces with Port producer Cristiano Van Zeller to develop single-vineyard sherries from Hidalgo's Pastrana site.

Palomino Fino

Palomino Fino

Palomino, named after Fernan Yanez Palomonio, one of King Alfonso X`s knights, is the primary grape variety for Sherry styles (Fino, Manzanilla, Amontillado, Oloroso, Palo Cortado) production.

It is a high yielding variety that is widely planted in Spain producing mostly insipid thin, dull wines lacking in fruit and acidity. However it thrives on the predominantly chalk based soils of Cadiz  where it produces large bunches of golden yellow grapes, which ripen in early September. The resulting must is transparent in colour and somewhat neutral in flavour, but the subsequent wine can develop a coating of flor before maturing in the solera system and produce a whole range of intense and aromatic sherries.

It is also grown in South Africa, California, and Australia where it is fortified to make sherry-style wines.
