Tasting note
Bodegas Alonso is the passion project of the Asencio family to rescue some of Sanlucar's greatest soleras; Fernando Mendez, Gaspar Florido and Pedro Romero. Wines of distinction, the 1/14 Oloroso is a single barrel bottling of outstanding complexity and elegance and arguably one of the finest sherries of the world.
In the press
The old Oloroso from the medium range is the NV Oloroso 1/14, sourced from a solera from Pedro Romero, possibly 35 to 40 years of average age and whose origin is Sanlúcar, as Pedro Romero used to buy wine from different suppliers in the village. Ex-Pedro Romero workers have explained that this was fortified to 17% and put through a long aging that concentrated the wine and increased the alcohol, while at the same time keeping the elegance and sharpness of the Sanlúcar wines. This is excellent.
Vinification
Crafted from 100% Palomino grapes in Jerez Superior. Bottled from 1/14 solera by Pedro Romero, revived by Asencio family. Aged in 600L oak barrels, fortified to 20%+ after 35-40 years.
