A tasting of Sherries
by Hidalgo la Gitana took place the other day in the Corte Ingles
department store in Jerez. It was led by the firm’s PR director, Miguel
Gutierrez, and was well attended by the public.
Beltran Domecq
Williams, president of the Consejo, has been awarded the “Personality”
prize for his dedication to the promotion of Sherry by the magazine Mercados
del Vino y la Distribucion.
Juaquin Rivero
Valcarce, owner of bodegas Tradicion, which contains an important
collection of art, has set up a bodega for the ageing of Fino in old bodegas in
Rincon Malillo, in which there is a collection of old photographs showing the
history of Sherry.
Antique Fino by
bodegas Rey Fernando de Castilla has been highly recommended and given 95
points by leading British wine magazine “Decanter” in its May edition. The
magazine said “Thanks to extended ageing in oak, this powerful Fino is darker
in hue than expected. There are signs of oxidation on the pungent salty nose,
while the intense palate has layers of flavours with fantastic body and smoky
roasted almond notes.”
