Gutierrez Colosia Oloroso
Chestnut brown, watery quince at the rim. Sandalwood, golden tobacco and sweet spice frame a rich, round nose of maple-roasted walnuts. The palate juxtaposes power and elegance, with hazelnut praline, honey-drizzled green fig & toffee. 'Offers a slightly darker profile, with date, toffee and burnt orange peel notes, staying dry and taut overall. A bit more polished than most, presenting a caressing feel through the ginger-infused finish' - 90 Points | Wine Spectator.
Barbadillo La Cilla Pedro Ximenez
Barbadillo, an established quality Sherry producer since 1821, continue to produce some of the 'Jerez Triangle's' best examples for great prices. Proud to introduce their "reserve" level Pedro Ximenez, La Cilla, to our range, this exotic Sherry is made using sun-dried racking which emparts a luscious rainened flavour up front. On the wonderfully viscous palate, sultana flavours come to the fore with obvious notes of caramel. The wine though is beautifully balanced with sweetness that is not over the top in any way. Perfect served over some rich vanilla bean ice-cream!
