A limited edition of
W&H vintage Sherries has been launched following their bottling in February. The range consists of the 2009 and 2012
Finos and Olorosos from 2003, 2009 and 2012 with a 2003 Amontillado. The
Oloroso 2001 has already been available for a while. This is fantastic news.
W&H have been experimenting with vintage
Fino since 2001 and the 2006, the first to be marketed, has 7 years of static
ageing under flor and has met with much acclaim. It is difficult to do without
losing the flor, but the result is amazing, and bottled en rama. It won IWC
Gold and 93 Parker points.
Don Guido Williams began setting aside wine to
be aged as vintage in 1920 and the firm has kept up the tradition and still has
stocks of all these vintages, which are used by the Consejo Regulador as
reference points in assessing the age of wines.
