MICAELA OLOROSO SANLÚCAR, 75CL

Type of wine: Generoso

Grape Variety: Palomino Fino

Appellation of Origin: Sherry-Xérèz-Sherry

Average age: 10 years

Elaboration and Aging: Coming from the complete fermentation of Palomino grape musts, Olorosos are “vocational” wines; the special structure they show from the beginning advises tasters to classify them for oxidative aging. The initial heading at 17% vol. of alcohol prevents the development of the flor veil, so the wine ages exposed at all times to the slow action of oxygen through the traditional system of criaderas and solera. The slow loss of water through the walls of the wooden barrels favors a continuous process of concentration, which makes the wine gain structure, smoothness and complexity.
