The wine

Intense mahogany. Rich dried fruits, nuts and caramel on the nose. Smooth and full bodied on the palate with excellent length.

Oloroso is fortified to 20%, above the level at which flor can live, so it ages entirely in contact with air from the start. Decades of slow oxidation give the colour and the walnut character. The Solera 1842 is named for the year it was laid down; VOS certifies an average age of at least twenty years across the casks blended.

The producer

Valdespino

View all Valdespino wines

Valdespino is one of the oldest and most revered names in Jerez, a sherry house whose roots reach back centuries. It is celebrated above all for its single-vineyard bottlings and its refusal to compromise, making sherries of a purity and depth that connoisseurs treasure.

The jewel is the great albariza vineyard of Macharnudo Alto, source of the Inocente Fino, one of the last Finos still fermented in cask. Elsewhere the house draws on ancient soleras for Amontillados, Palo Cortados and Olorosos of extraordinary age, alongside a decadently sweet Pedro Ximénez.

From the bone-dry, saline Inocente and sea-fresh Manzanilla Deliciosa to the profound VOS bottlings and the sherry-based Herencia vermouth and quina, the range is a masterclass in the diversity of Jerez.

Historic, uncompromising and endlessly rewarding, Valdespino is sherry at its most serious. Discover a true benchmark of the region.
