Barbadillo Cuco 12YO Oloroso Sherry
CHF 21.90
This sherry is a deep brown/ mahogany in colour. It has oxidative aromas of nuts, old oak, orange peel and dried fruits. On the palate it is bone dry with quite high acidity and a very smooth, oily texture. It is very complex with a wide range of nutty, old oak flavours. 19.5% alc.
Drink with rich game stews or a lamb curry.
Oloroso sherries are made from the winery’s estate-owned Palomino grapes, which are fermented then fortified up to 19.5% using local grape spirit. They are immediately filled into large 700l chestnut casks, which are filled right to the top to prevent too quick an aeration. This sherry was then aged in cask for at least 12 years. Oloroso sherries have no flor contact or biological ageing. This means they don’t have any briny, iodine-like flavours, but a more oxidative range of flavours of nuts and spice and dried fruits.
