SHERRY FLIGHTS Perhaps you are a newcomer to the world of sherry, or maybe you just can't make up your mind about which to choose - either way our sherry "flights" are the perfect solution. Each flight consists of three different sherries giving you the opportunity to explore the nuances of each style. For newcomers we would recommend the Introduction Flight (No.1) to establish where your taste lies, whilst for the more experienced sherry drinker the remaining 7 flights allow the taster to explore the differences between three sherries of a similar style back to back. All flights consist of one 50ml measure of each featured sherry. 3 x 50ml Flight No.1 - Introduction Flight Gonzalez Byass Tio Pepe Fino Gonzalez Byass Vina AB Amontillado Gonzalez Byass Alfonso Oloroso Flight No. 2 - Fino Triangle Gonzalez Byass Tio Pepe Fino Antonio Barbadillo Solear Manzanilla Emilio Lustau Puerto Fino Flight No.3 - Amontillados Gonzalez Byass Vina AB Amontillado Emilio Lustau Los Arcos Amontillado Antonio Barbadillo Principe Amontillado Flight No. 4 - Olorosos Gonzalez Byass Alfonso Oloroso Emilio Lustau Don Nuno Oloroso Valdespino Don Gonzalo Oloroso Flight No. 5 - Palo Cortados Gonzalez Byass Leonor Palo Cortado Lustau Almancenista Vides Palo Cortado Antonio Barbadillo Gascon Obispo Palo Cortado Flight No. 6 - Creams & Moscatel Gonzalez Byass Solera 1847 Cream Sherry Emilio Lustau Old East India Cream Sherry Emilio Lustau Emilin Moscatel Flight No. 7 - Pedro Ximenez (PX) Gonzalez Byass Nectar PX Emilio Lustau San Emilio PX Gonzalez Byass Noe VORS PX Flight No. 8 - Very Rare Sherries Gonzalez Byass Del Duque Amontillado Gonzalez Byass Matusalem Oloroso Gonzales Byass Apostoles Palo Cortado 6.25 7.50 8.95 9.00 10.75 10.50 12.00 15.00
FINO Fino sherry is produced from a total fermentation process of Palomino grape must. The must is fortified & aged in American oak barrels under a layer of yeast ('flor') which prevents its oxidation. The 'solera' ageing process results in a wine which maintains consistent characteristics. Fino is typically light & delicate on the palate with a fresh aftertaste reminiscent of almonds. Fino is a perfect aperitif or an ideal accompaniment to cured meats, olives, nuts & fish. 100ml 375ml 750ml Gonzalez Byass Tio Pepe 4.00 13.00 19.50 Valdespino Inocente 5.25 26.50 Emilio Lustau Puerto Fino 5.75 38.00 MANZANILLA Like Fino, Manzanilla sherry is produced by means of the solera system, only in this case the whole process has to be carried out in Sanlucar de Barrameda on the Atlantic coast. The climactic conditions in this area result in a sherry which is subtly different to the fino produced a few miles inland in Jerez. It retains the dry lightness of fino but also possesses a salty freshness which lingers into the aftertaste. Manzanilla makes a perfect aperitif or is best paired with fish or salty foods. 100ml Antonio Barbadillo Manzanilla 4.00 Antonio Barbadillo Manzanilla Solear 4.50 Emilio Lustau Papirusa 5.75 375ml 750ml 19.50 17.25 32.50
AMONTILLADO Amontillado sherry is the result of two ageing processes. It begins life as a fino (or manzanilla) ageing biologically under a layer of 'flor'. After a given time the flor disappears & the wine continues to age in contact with oxygen. This combination of ageing processes results in a very complex and interesting wine combining the sharp freshness of a fino with a more rounded nutty finish. Amontillado makes a perfect aperitif or is best paired with vegetable dishes, white meat, fish or mature cheese. 100ml 750ml Delgado Zuleta Amontillado (med dry) 4.50 24.50 Gonzalez Byass Vina AB Amontillado 4.25 21.50 Emilio Lustau Los Arcos Amontillado 5.75 33.50 Antonio Barbadillo Principe Amontillado 7.50 45.00 OLOROSO Oloroso sherry is the product of purely oxidative ageing. Fortified from the start to prevent any development of 'flor', the wine is in constant contact with oxygen which results in a rich mahogany colour & its characteristic complexity. Oloroso is nutty & earthy on the nose with a full bodied smoothness on the palate & a dry finish. Oloroso makes a perfect aperitif but is also an ideal accompaniment to red meat, game & mature cheese. 100ml 750ml Gonzalez Byass Alfonso Oloroso 4.25 21.50 Emilio Lustau Don Nuno Oloroso 5.75 33.50 Lustau Emperatriz Eugenia Oloroso 7.00 41.50 Valdespina Don Gonzalo Oloroso 8.00 48.15
PALO CORTADO This is a very special wine combining the aroma of an amontillado with the full bodied richness associated with an oloroso. Traditionally 'Butts' are identified by tasters at an early stage as having certain specific characteristics that make this style of the sherry so distinctive. The wine is then fortified to 17% to kill off the flor so that the oxidative ageing can begin. A complex bouquet with hints of citrus, nuts & herbs combine with a smooth, deep & well balanced sensation on the palate with an aromatic aftertaste. Palo Cortado is an ideal accompaniment to cheeses, nuts & rich stews. 100ml Gonzalez Byass Leonor 4.75 Emilio Lustau Almancenista Vides 8.80 Antonio Barbadillo Gascon Obispo 8.00 500ml 750ml 23.50 42.75 48.75 OLOROSO DULCE (CREAM SHERRY) Sweet oloroso or cream sherry is produced by blending dry olorosos with sweeter wines. The sweeter wine, generally PX, makes up around 25% of the blend resulting in a sherry which still retains some of the complex characteristics of the oloroso but with an additional rich sweetness. The large scale production of some of the brands of cream sherry has left it with a poor reputation, the sherry that we all associate with granny's sideboard, these however are in a different league. An Oloroso Dulce is best enjoyed on its own or with desserts & cheeses. 75ml 750ml Gonzalez Byass Solera 1847 4.25 28.00 Emilio Lustau Capataz Andres Delux 5.25 38.00 Emilio Lustau Old East India 6.50 48.50
SWEET SHERRY Made from Pedro Ximenez (PX) or more unusually Moscatel grape varieties, these sherries are naturally sweet, the grapes having been left out in the sun to turn into raisins before being processed. The oxidative ageing process concentrates the aromatic qualities of these wines to produce sumptuous, rich, sweet wines. Again these wines are amazing on their own or with desserts & cheeses. 75ml 750ml Gonzalez Byass Nectar PX 4.25 28.00 Emilio Lustau Emilin Moscatel 6.50 48.50 Emilio Lustau San Emilio PX 6.50 48.50 75ml 375ML Special Old Sherry Del Duque Amontillado 7.50 35.00 This sherry spends its first 4 years as Tio Pepe before spending a further 4 years in the Vina AB Solera system before being transferred to the Del Duque Solera for a final 22 years. It is a bone dry sherry showing an incredible concentration of flavours from decades of oxidation and evaporation. Apostoles Palo Cortado/PX 7.50 35.00 To produce this wine palomino grapes and PX grapes are pressed & fermented separately & both then spend 12 years in separate Soleras before being blended to spend 18 years in the Apostoles Solera. Although appearing sweet on the nose, this sherry is medium dry on the palate with flavours of fig & raisin balanced with caramel, vanilla & nuts. Matusalem Oloroso/PX 7.50 35.00 The Oloroso and PX spend 15 years in their own Solera before being blended together to spend a further 15 years in the Matusalem Solera. This is a beautifully sweet Oloroso with profound flavours of dried fruits & spices. Perfect with chesses or a dessert. Noe PX 7.50 35.00 The Pedro Ximenez grapes are harvested & left to bake in the sun for up to 4 weeks before pressing, which yields small quantities of very concentrated, sweet brown nectar. The wine spends 30 years in the Noe Solera before bottling. At 450 grams per litre of residual sugar, it is one of the sweetest wines in the World & can be a dessert in its own right.
SPANISH VERMOUTHS Vermut is a Spanish institution, not just another ingredient in a range of trendy cocktails. The Spanish prefer to enjoy their Vermut neat over ice, with a twist of orange & an olive. Try it and you will appreciate why. Vermut starts its life as a white wine. It is aromatised & fortified by the addition of numerous botanicals (including wormwood, anjelica root, cinnamon & orange peel) and a little grape spirit. Following this it is usually sweetened by the addition of caramelised sugar, which also results in its rich, dark amber colour. Historically, Reus near Barcelona has been at the centre of Spanish Vermut production, but more recently other wine producing areas have started to make Vermut alongside some of their more traditional styles. We have a small selection for you to try. All served in 175ml measures over ice with a twist of orange peel & a green olive
