Sanchez Romate Oloroso Sherry Old and Plus Very Old Reserve

Wine information: Juan Sánchez de la Torre founded the company in 1781 in Jerez to produce fine wines. Two hundred twenty five years later Sánchez Romate is one of the oldest bodegas in Spain and one of the few that remains in family hands. This has allowed it to maintain its independence and continue making wines in the same time-honoured fashion. Over the years their quality has been rewarded with appointments to the House of Lords and the Vatican. To ensure quality from vineyard to bottle Sánchez Romate not only owns its own vineyards—in the best albariza soil areas of Jerez—but also has invested in some of the most modern facilities in the region—all of which are still housed in the bodega buildings located in central Jerez. These traditional cellars with their high ceilings keep temperatures stable and allow the natural yeasts to circulate while the sand floors keep the humidity at the correct levels. The ageing process is through traditional criaderas y soleras with 500 litre American oak casks filled to five-sixths and arranged in layers of three to four. The company produces three different ranges of sherry, from the classic Romate range to the Reservas Especiales through to La Sacristía—the company’s oenological treasures. The winery produces an extremely limited reserve of very old wines – some of which are so old that nobody remembers their age – that traditionally have been reserved for the family’s consumption. Made from century-old soleras, these oenological treasures are an exclusive privilege that Sánchez Romate Hermanos occasionally offer to their best customers around the world. Palomino fino grapes give birth to a generoso wine made and aged in oak casks for over thirty years using the traditional Jerez method. This Old and Rare Oloroso has is bright, intense but dark mahogany in colour. The nose is roound and deep with nuances of old oak and nut aromas. This oloroso bears the characteristics of the oldest soleras. On the mouth, it is Smooth, lasting, full-bodied with oak and nut aftertastes. Try with aged cheese, nuts, meat and consommés.
