Aged in cask in the traditional Solera system within the ancient cathedral style cellars of Barbadillo, this is is a blend of old Olorossos and Pedro Ximenez. This special ageing and blending give this Sherry its characteristic mahogany color, rich walnut aroma, smooth full body and sweet raisin finish.
Founded in 1821 in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Bodegas Barbadillo is now in the hands of the seventh-generation descendants of the founder, making it one of the oldest privately-held companies in any sector in Spain. The firm boasts 500 hectares of vineyards split between two farms, Santa Lucía and Gibalbín, both located in the Jerez Superior viticultural zone. They mature some 31,800 casks of wine in seventeen different bodegas, most of which are located in the Barrio Alto, the most privileged district of Sanlúcar for aging wine.
