Origins
An exclusive artisan selection by Michel Rolland & Javier Galarreta from the best ListĂĄn Blanco grape casks, organically-aged in the historic âCascos Bodeguero San LeĂłn, Santa Ana y Mirafloresâ dating from 1822 and 1740 in SanlĂșcar de Barrameda (CĂĄdiz).
The final blend is decided by Michel and Javier, along with the master winemaker and oenologist. Dry wines, intense yet very fresh, but also elegant. These three sherries from âSoleras Olvidadasâ represent the very essence of SanlĂșcar de Barrameda.
The âAlbarizaâ white soil and special âbotaâ casks are the two elements local to SanlĂșcar, key to creating the Jerez terroir. Originating from the subregion of Jerez Superior, the âAlbarizaâ white soil, influenced by the Atlantic and the mouth of the Guadalquivir River in front of Doñana National Park, has been designated biosphere reserve status.
The proximity to the sea results in slow ripening, and the moderate temperatures allow for a higher quality. Harvest begins at the end of August, and lasts until the beginning of September.
