BODEGAS GARVEY
The history of Bodegas Garvey starts with William Garvey, an Irishman who came to Cádiz in 1776 to buy merino sheep for his herd. He fell in love and established himself as a (wine) merchant, first in Sanlúcar and later in Jerez, buying much of his wine from Gordon & Co. The late 18th century was the time when the lighter Fino-style wines became more popular and started to be exported. Until EAST INDIA SOLERA (LUSTAU) East India Solera (Lustau) Lustau is honouring a 17th Century tradition of shipping wines to the East Indies. East India Solera is a sweetened Oloroso.The name refers to the East India Company, a British trading company that transported cotton, silk, spices, AMONTILLADO VIÑA AB (GONZÁLEZ BYASS) Viña AB is the entry-level Amontillado from González Byass Viña AB is essentially a version of the popular Fino Tio Pepe that was allowed to mature longer, around 9 to 10 years (half of which under flor). That's not very old for an Amontillado. In fact it used to be labeled Amontillado Fino, indicating it was a transitionary style, but as of 2009 this name could not be used any more and it MANZANILLA DELICIOSA (VALDESPINO) Deliciosa is a classic Manzanilla that shouts Miraflores Manzanilla Deliciosa is the best known Manzanilla from Valdespino. It is around 5 to 6 years old, whereas the younger Manzanilla Señorita has an average age of three years. Both come from the Bodega La Guita which is part of the Estévez group that owns both brands. Deliciosa is made by Maribel Estévez, enologist and daughter of FINO TRES PALMAS 2016 (GONZALEZ BYASS) Fino Tres Palmas 2016 (Gonzalez Byass) Part of the yearly Palmas series from González Byass, this Fino Tres Palmas is an expression of ‘flor in its most mature version’.. It is 10 years old (six years older than the regular Tio Pepe) and at this age, only specific barrels maintain a healthy layer of flor, which would normally have started to break up and disappear, making way for the FINO EN RAMA (GUTIÉRREZ COLOSÍA) Fino En Rama (Gutiérrez Colosía) Two Finos from different soleras, matured at different strengths and with their own character. When it comes to artisan production, Gutiérrez Colosía is a small bodega that should get your attention. They are still producing AURORA MANZANILLA (YUSTE) Aurora Manzanilla (Yuste) A Manzanilla that combines elements from different locations around Sanlúcar. In 2015 Yuste (the man who brought Coca Cola to Sanlúcar) acquired the classic Aurora brand together with a 19th century solera from Pedro Romero.This lead to a new introduction on the market, first with an old-style (fake parchment) label and towards the end of 2016 in the wider Aurora ALMACENISTA FINO DEL PUERTO (GONZÁLEZ OBREGÓN) Flor notes, chamomile, lightly herbal notes. More almonds. A racy sharpness as well, with some iodine and preserved lemon. Again some meaty notes in the long finish, with roasted nuts. Availability: the Almacenista range is widely available. Around € 18 for a 50 cl bottle. Summary: A good Fino del Puerto, though perhaps not a classicexample.

The infamous Rumasa empire was born – a long story with a big impact on the entire sherry region. Let’s just say Harveys and the entire sherry region suffered under Rumasa. Since the late 1960s, Bristol Cream isn’t blended and matured in Bristol any more: they moved to Jerez TIO PEPE EN RAMA 2021 Tio Pepe En Rama 2021. Tio Pepe En Rama has just been announced, the 12th edition already. In 2021 it is a selection of 82 butts from the giant Tio Pepe solera(s), bottled at the moment when the flor is highly active.. This year Gonzalez Byass is using the hashtag #LivingFlor. This Fino sherry expresses flor its ‘wild’ form, thanks to minimal filtering (). 3 EN RAMA – SPRING 2020 (LUSTAU) 3 En Rama – Spring 2020 (Lustau) Three unfiltered bottlings representing the key cities of the sherry triangle, educational and tasty. The 3 En Rama series is one of the yearly releases that we look forward to. Even in a crazy year like 2020 Lustau selected some of its most active barrels from the three corner cities of the sherry triangle, to be bottled with minimal filtering after some THE SOLERA SYSTEM: AGEING SHERRY Sherry has a unique and rather complex system of maturation using a large number of casks and fractional blending. This system is called solera and it is used in the production of all types of sherry, dry or sweet. It is also commonly used for other wines, Spanish brandy, sherry vinegar, Madeira and Port wines and occasionally other drinks like whisky or beer. While the base idea is alwaysBODEGAS GARVEY
The history of Bodegas Garvey starts with William Garvey, an Irishman who came to Cádiz in 1776 to buy merino sheep for his herd. He fell in love and established himself as a (wine) merchant, first in Sanlúcar and later in Jerez, buying much of his wine from Gordon & Co. The late 18th century was the time when the lighter Fino-style wines became more popular and started to be exported. Until MANZANILLA: A LIGHT AND COASTAL SHERRY WINE Manzanilla . Manzanilla is a dry white wine, almost identical to Fino sherry except for the fact that it can only be produced and matured around Sanlúcar de Barrameda, a town closer to the sea than Jerez.The climatic differences make it lighter than Fino wines. Some of the most renowned Manzanillas include La Gitana (Hidalgo), La Guita (Hijos de Rainera Perez Marin) and Solear (Barbadillo) VINE GROWING: VARA & PULGAR This time of the year is crucial for the upcoming winemaking season. The plants are growing, flowering has passed and the grape buds have started to appear. Let's have a quick look at a some of the essential work that is done in the vineyards in order to have a great wine in a couple of months. In wintertime, when the plants are at rest, vines are pruned or trained in a way that optimizes MANZANILLA PAPIRUSA (LUSTAU) This is Lustau's standard Manzanilla: light and very dry Manzanilla Papirusa is part of the Solera Reserve range from Bodegas Lustau. These wines come from old soleras mostly founded or acquired from 1900 until the 1930s. It is produced for Lustau by Bodegas Cuevas Jurado, which also provides wines for Lustau's Almacenista range. At the time of bottling it is said to be around 4,5 years HOW LONG CAN YOU STORE / DRINK A BOTTLE OF SHERRY Bottle ageing sherry. Recently some bodegas started to encourage bottle ageing, i.e. deliberately putting away bottles of sherry for opening after a long time, beyond the common timespans. A good example is Equipo Navazos, who are bottling a Manzanilla Pasada from the same set of butts every year.They encourage you to buy subsequent releases and try them side-by-side. ALMACENISTA MANZANILLA PASADA (LUSTAU) Almacenista Manzanilla Pasada (Lustau) The Almacenista range is probably the best known range of Bodegas Lustau.. Today we’re having the Almacenista Manzanilla Pasada, a wine taken from a solera of 80 butts matured by the small producer Manuel Cuevas Jurado in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. It was aged for seven years and although it isn’t mentioned on the label, it is said to be MOSCATEL EMILÍN (LUSTAU) Moscatel Emilín (Lustau) The Moscatel Emilín is part of the Solera Familiar range from Lustau.The Moscatel grapes for this wine are grown in a vineyard called Las Cruces in the sandy soil near Chipiona, close to the coast, where Lustau grows only Moscatel and Pedro Ximénez.. Like Pedro Ximénez, most of the Moscatel grapes are laid out in thesun to dry.
