Hidalgo Oloroso Faraon 50cl

The Faraon is the head of an Andalusian gypsy family. Oloroso Seco Faraon is aged oxidatively for several years in butts of American oak. Grapes are sourced exclusively from our own vineyards in Balbaina and Miraflores. Matured in casks of American oak in a solera or fractional blending system in the coastal town of Sanlucar de Barrameda. The maturation is an oxidative process; no flor grows since the wine is fortified after vinification. Then follows an average of seven years of ageing in cask, to give a dry, complex wine. Excellent with nuts in particular, but suits all pre-dinner nibbles. Similarly superb on its own. Do not over chill in order to appreciate the more delicate flavours.
