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.

This is effectively a blend of Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez Sherries with an average Solera age of about 8 years. The result is a rich and sweet but not cloying dessert wine. You could try this chilled or even over ice as an aperitif.
Barbadillo, Fino Pale Dry, NV £8.95
4 in stock
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
7 in stock
This Manzanilla has been aged for 8 years before bottling, making it a �Pasada� style. The extra ageing on a �pasada� builds complexity, body and adds a hint of oxidation as the veil of �flor� begins to thin. 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…

This is a wine for connoisseurs, bottled almost unfiltered in order to preserve its golden color and racy character.

Equipo Navazos, La Bota No 82, Manzanilla Florpower MMXV, Equipo Navazos Sherry , NV 75cl Bottle £144.00
Available to order
This delicious Manzanilla was made from the same juice once bottled as La Bota de Florpower 77 MMXV wine, (vintage 2015), however this butt of wine was fortified and aged as a manzanilla in Barrels locked by the Consejo Regulador. We admit it is a complex scenario, if Florpower has always been an unfortified white wine, why mess it up now with a Manzanilla �florpower�? Well, because it�s what it i…
