Bodegas Hidalgo Single Vineyard Oloroso Sherry 1986 500ml

Gold Medal - Decanter World Wine Awards

Bodegas Hidalgo's commitment to sherry excellence stretches back to 1792, but few releases illustrate their expertise like the 1986 Single Vineyard Oloroso. Sourced from a single estate parcel and the 1986 harvest, this rare Oloroso has matured in American oak butts for over thirty years, developing remarkable complexity and depth. Fermented from Palomino Fino grapes grown on chalk-rich soils, the wine undergoes full oxidative ageing in Hidalgo's cool, humid cellars, concentrating flavours and aromas. Bottled at 20% abv, it presents a tapestry of walnut, dried orange peel, spice, polished wood and toffee, with a powerful, dry palate and an endless finish. This is a sherry for the collector or the connoisseur, offering contemplative depth and a unique sense of place. Pair with aged cheeses, roasted game, or sip slowly to appreciate its evolution in the glass - each pour tells a story of vintage, vineyard, and bodega mastery.
