This outstanding Oloroso VORS (Very Old Rare Sherry) owes its character and complexity to the fact that the 28 butt solera was slowly built up from the best Oloroso butts in the bodega by the original cellar master. He came from Covadonga, Asturias, and made the best Oloroso he could for the Marqués de Real Tesoro who particularly enjoyed Oloroso. On the cellar masters death, the Marqués named the solera Covadonga in his honour. The wine is only released very rarely at an average age of over 40 years. It has an old mahogany colour and is intensely perfumed with nutty balsamic notes. On the palate it is full bodied, extremely elegant and persistent.
Serve at 12-14 °C with soups, patés, foie gras and intense creamy cheeses like Brie or Camambert.
Colour: light mahogany. Nose: dry nuts, toast, acetaldehyde, sweet spices. Palate: rich, long, spicy, round.
The NV Don Gonzalo Oloroso 20 Anos VOS, produced with Palomino grapes from the Carrascal vineyards, is fermented in stainless steel and aged for over 20 years in oak botas. It is a very serious Oloroso, even if it’s not totally dry. It offers bitter almonds, hazelnuts, incense, Cuban cigar ash, and dark chocolate as well as a complex, a very intense, round and ample palate. This wine really fills your mouth. Very intense and with great acidity, it represents very good value for the quality it delivers. A tamed beast.
