Description: Established in 1821, Barbadillo is the reference house of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, where they own 500 hectares of their own vines, vinify all their own base wines, and age their sherries in a panoply of historic bodegas, most of them exposed to the fresh sea breezes wafting through the Barrio Alto. Selected from the botas in the Bodega de las Mil Pesetas. Notes of salted caramel, burnt orange peel, and almonds. The palate is tight, linear, and medium-bodied with a persistent saline thread and pleasant tension throughout the length of the palate.
Food pairings: Almond, Cheese (dry, hard, smoked), Chorizo, nuts, figs, ham, charcuterie, tapas, etc.
