A very old Amontillado that is produced when the Bodega’s Finos are kept in barrel long after their flor has died away, becoming incredibly complex, dry wines of intense yeastiness but also possessing a wonderful rancio aged character. Intensely saline and possessing with rapier like cut and power, etching flavours of rock salt, singed orange peel, pistachio, toffee and smoked meat across the palate. Linear but extremely complex, a mindboggling accompaniment to pickled and smoked fish dishes, olives and fine smoked meats. The average age in this bottling is 45 years old. The bodega have full faith that once opened a bottle should last for up to a year if kept upright with the cork put back in - so there’s no need to rush through the bottle, would that restraint so easily be counted upon!
Bodegas Tradición is a unique Sherry Bodega that bottles consistently genre-defining, mature wines that are a veritable assault on the senses - in the nicest possible way. By focusing on very old casks that have not been chill filtered, blended, stabilized, clarified, sweetened, or seen the addition of sulphites, Tradición have proven themselves one of the very best in the business. Proudly bottling small-batches with the highest average ages on the market, the range includes a twelve year old Fino, approximately four times as old and complex as your average Fino on the high street, and an Amontillado, Oloroso and Palo Cortado with average ages far exceeding the thirty-year VORS designates on the label. A twenty year old Cream Sherry VOS is the best we have ever tasted, the range capped by a lusciously sweet yet layered twenty year old Pedro Ximenez VOS. Each category provides great intellectual stimulation. Like all great wines though, the Bodegas Tradición Sherries are as splendid alone as they are with the right dishes, with food pairing potential way beyond the simple aperitif.
