An Oloroso with character and body, dry finish. elegant and incomparable to the mass-produced sherries.
Gutiérrez Colosía has its vineyards mainly on albariza soils in Jerez Superior (Balbaina Alta, Balbaina Baja and Los Tercios), these are the typical bright white colored soils. Albariza consists of more than 60% lime (calcium carbonate, a remnant of the oligocene - 33 to 23 million years ago - when this area was completely covered with water). When it rains, the soil turns into a thick paste. But when the sun comes through, the soil dries out to a smooth and reflective crust that retains moisture and protects the vines. In contrast to the large sherry wineries, this is a small-scale house with emphasis on quality only. Authentic with a more than excellent value4money
