Gonzalez Byass Alfonso Oloroso Seco Jerez-Xeres-Sherry 375ml

Description

Expert Review

The Wine Enthusiast 90 Points | This comes across wide and expansive as it lazily exudes oily aromas of hazelnut and toffee. A plump palate is not overly cutting or demanding, while flavors of lightly salted nuts and buttered toast end with toffee and peanut flavors. Alcohol 18%.

Winemaker Description 

González Byass Alfonso Oloroso Seco is a wine made from Palomino Fino from their own vineyards.

As soon as the grapes arrive at the winery, they are softly pressed to obtain the free-run must (mosto yema), which will be used to make this wine. After fermentation, classification and fortification at 18% vol., the wine enters the “solera”, where it will remain for an average of eight years in American oak butts, following the traditional “solera” system. The wine ages in full contact with the air, which allows its complete oxidation.
