Hidalgo Villapanés Oloroso Seco

Wine Description

Villapanés is the name of the historic family estate that is situated in the heart of Jerez. As is traditional, this sherry is made entirely from noble Palomino grapes grown pure white albarizo soil. The elegance of this wine is due in part to a brief aging under flor before its oxidative aging period, which lasts an average of 15 to 20 years. It is considered by many to be the Oloroso par excellence.

Acclaim
“A shade darker than its peers, relying more on black walnut, Brazil nut and singed orange peel notes, while dried persimmon and quince flavors add a succulent side. Light rye and green tea echo through the razor-sharp finish, where sweet details peek in.” (Buying Guide)
— Wine Spectator, Mar 2018
“Displays a flicker of sweetness running through the golden raisin and date notes, adding a flattering hint to offset the dry Brazil nut, clove, powdered ginger and salted caramel details. Stays elegant through the finish.”
— Wine Spectator, Oct 2013
