The newest label in the sherry business (started in 2014). It used to be an almacenista, selling premium wines to Domecq. They source the fruit from their own vineyard, located in the Pago de Montealegre, and choose to ferment their musts in American oak instead of the omnipresent stainless steel. The soleras of the firm date back to 1789. They are located at the highest elevation in Jerez, in the San Miguel neighborhood, getting the best possible exposure to the westerly winds from the Atlantic. The Cruz Vieja sherries are always bottled en rama, unfiltered, in order to bring their amazing complexity from barrel to table.

TASTING NOTES
Salty, citrusy with burnt sugar, mahogany polish, toffee apple, macadamias, bruised yellow apples and chamomile tea. The perfect sherry, this is a complex, versatile and simply gorgeous wine.
