Why You'll Love It
This is sherry to sit with and savour. More than 25 years of average ageing bring extraordinary aromatic detail, from roasted nuts to delicate smoke, while the palate stays wonderfully dry and precise. Particularly good with a salty, mature cheese.
About The Producer
Valdespino is one of the great historic names of Jerez, with roots traced to Alfonso Valdespino in the thirteenth century and commercial records dating back to the fifteenth. Unlike many sherry houses, it owns substantial vineyards, including prized albariza plots in the Macharnudo pago, and has long been admired for single-vineyard wines, traditional soleras and extended ageing. The bodega became part of the Estévez family business in 1999, and its range now spans finely detailed Finos, ancient oxidative sherries and some of Andalucía's most distinctive aperitifs. The wines retain a strong sense of Jerez's vineyards and the extraordinary complexity that patient ageing can bring.
Winemaking Information
Viejo C.P. is 100% Palomino Fino from 50-year-old vines on the chalk-rich albariza soils of the Macharnudo Alto vineyard. Its casks are selected from the Inocente and Tío Diego soleras after an initial period of biological ageing, then fortified for extended oxidative maturation. The wine has an average age of more than 25 years in a four-criadera solera. The estate specifies 20% ABV and less than 5 g/L residual sugar.
