Sherry Tasting Kit
Sherry comes in all different shapes and sizes! We've chosen three very different and specific styles so you can truly taste the region.
Allergens: Sulphites
Wine 1: NV Manzanilla, En Rama, La Guita
|
Grape Variety: 100% Palomino Fino Country: Spain Region: Sanlucar de Barrameda, Jerez Producer: Hijos de Rainera Pérez Marín Style: Fortified Wine ABV: 15% Tasting notes: Green Olive, Chamomile, Almond La Guita is basically the only wine produced at the bodegas Hijos de Rainera Pérez Marín in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. The name comes from the old Andalucian slang 'guita', meaning 'cash' (its founder was renowned for wanting to be paid in cash). The more common meaning though is 'string' (hence 'guitar'), highlighted by the fact that every bottle has a string around its neck. |
Wine 2: Fino, En Rama, Fernando de Castilla
|
Grape Variety: 100% Palomino Fino Country: Spain Region: Jerez Producer: Fernando de Castilla Style: Fortified Wine ABV: 15% Tasting notes: Baked Apple, Sea Salt, Almond Bodegas Rey Fernando de Castilla is in the historic centre of Jerez. Their 'En Rama' is a special Fino bottled only in Spring and Autumn, when the flor is thickest. Each bottle is marked with the bottling date. 'En Rama' wines are bottled unfiltered and unrefined - straight from the barrel - to preserve the intensity and complexity of the wine. This Sherry is straw-coloured - darker than a normal Fino - as it has not been carbon-filtered. |
