Tasting note
Rich cream sherry full of dried fruit and a warm perfume of wood, finishing with an appetising bowlful of raisins and freshly cracked walnuts.
Viticulture
‘Alameda’ is the central plaza in Sevilla, it is here that young women are said to walk in the early evening in hope of attracting the attention of suitors. The base wine is from Palomino grapes gorwn in Hidalgo's own vineyards in Jérez Superior.
Vinification
Oloroso Abocado Alameda is a mix of old Olorosos and sweeter wines made from Pedro Ximénez, which have aged for several years in soleras of American oak.
Food Match
Excellent with nuts in particular, but also suits soft cheeses and crème caramel. Similarly superb on its own. Do not over chill in order to appreciate the more delicate flavours.
