Sandeman NV Rich Old Oloroso Sherry

Sherry is exclusively produced in the region of Jerez, Spain. It is made from three traditional white wine grapes only. The Palomino grape is the most commonly used along with Moscatel and Pedro Ximenez

Oloroso Sherries are naturally dry, though the relatively high strength and full body of an Oloroso will give it an impression of roundness and even sweetness. Once opened it will begin to slowly lose some of its aroma and flavour but can be kept, corked and refrigerated, for up to two months after opening. The older the Oloroso, the longer it will stay perfect for consumption, as much as 12 months.
