The wine
The Valdespino range of old wines is a range of unique sherries, matured over periods of more than 20 years (VOS, Vinum Optimum Signatum 'Very Old Sherry') or 30 years (VORS, Vinum Optimum Rare Signatum 'Very Old Rare Sherry’); these are wines with considerable character - intense, complex and profound.
The Oloroso Don Gonzalo originates from the Carrascal and Macharnudo plots and, like its “sibling” VORS, exceeds the age limit set by legislation. In keeping with its approximately 30 years of ageing, this is a powerful, intense Oloroso, yet offering a light, pleasant mouthfeel.
