The Consejo Regulador
has officially announced inscription dates for the Spanish round of the prestigious
food and Sherry matching competition, which is open to applications at www.copajerez.com till the 1st
September. Teams of chef and sommelier will compete to represent Spain against the
national winners of seven other countries in the international final which will
take place in Jerez in 2019. The VII edition introduced the very successful Forum
which included lectures, tastings and show cooking featuring some of the top
names in the worlds of Sherry and gastronomy. This is an unmissable event.
Bodegas Manuel Obregón
in Chiclana have launched a new and very interesting white wine. Named Retallo (meaning a wooden
wedge used to mount barrels), it is made from 100% Pedro Ximénez grown in their
own vineyards and harvested earlier than usual so as to produce a dry wine. It
comes in at 12 % alcohol and is aged under flor before bottling en rama. Just
over 1,000 bottles have been produced.
