Founded in 1830, Bodegas El Maestro Sierra has built a reputation as a crafter of fine artisanal sherries. Made with wines not younger than 15 years old, this Oloroso displays intriguing aromas and flavours of hazelnuts and exotic spices.

TASTING NOTE: The non-vintage Oloroso is darker in color than the Fino and adds elements of smoke and butterscotch to its off-dry character. Score - 91. (Jay Miller, www.erobertparker.com, Feb. 2007)

This Manzanilla Sherry is very dry, fresh and lively with aromas that suggest olive, brine and earth. The delicate flavours and lingering finish make it an excellent match for sushi or a clear soup course.
