Barbadillo

Laura Moscatel Sherry
Barbadillo
Half Bottle 37.5cl

Description and Reviews:
When the Moscatel must has reached a certain degree of extended maturation, it is fortified with wine-based distilled spirit to bring the alcohol content up to 19%. Once clean and stable it passes to the criaderas where it is left to mature through the process of oxidative ageing. This is achieved through the oxidation of the wine whilst in barrel and racking within each tier of the criadera. This traditional system is characterised by the carefully orchestrated movement of wine between the soleras and criaderas within each cellar. With this particular wine, the ageing process lasts for a period of 5 years.

Tasting Notes
Mahogany colour and aromas reminiscent of Moscatel grapes, dried apricots, honey and dried fruits. Sweet and smooth on the palate. The long finish leaves a lingering aroma of Moscatel.

Once bottled, mature wines that have undergone oxidative ageing can retain perfect organaleptic conditions for years.
