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 Solera 1842, like the Oloroso Don Gonzalo, comes from the Carrascal and Macharnudo plots; both are matured in parallel structures and are distinguishable mainly by the small amount of old, sweet Pedro Ximenez which is incorporated into the Solera 1842 in its final years of ageing. Consequently, it is in fact a refined oloroso dulce or sweet oloroso.
