Sherry
Sherry holds a special place in the history of wine as one of the oldest types still available today. At The Fine Wine Company we are dedicated to offering a range of sherries, all brought in from the specialist area in Andalucia where sherry is produced.
Our range represents the plethora of flavours and styles available from this tiny region from the lighter, dry Manzanilla to more intense, deep Pedro Ximenez with its sweeter tones lending it to use in desserts and as a digestif. There is an amazingly wide range of different sherry options available from such a small, distinct region of Spain yet we have worked tirelessly to ensure our range represents as many quality examples as possible.

Barbadillo, Fino Pale Dry, NV £8.95

Barbadillo�s Finos are more Manzanilla like in style, but are aged in Bodegas with less exposure to the cooling sea breezes. The flor in the barrels grows vigorously in these cellars so the wine is a little more nutty and toasty than the more appley and yeasty Manzanillas of Sanlucar.
Barbadillo, Manzanilla Pasada En Rama De La Pastora, 37.5cl, NV £8.95

This Manzanilla has been aged for 8 years before bottling, making it a �Pasada� style.

It is also an �En Rama� or �raw� manzanilla meaning the wine has been bottled straight from the cask with no fining or filtration to preserve the body and freshness. The �Pastora�, or �shephe…
