SHERRY

BODEGAS HIDALGO SPAIN Bodegas Emilio Hidalgo was founded in 1874 and has developed an international reputation for producing elegant, refined Sherries. Located in the historical heart of Jerez de la Frontera, and housed in a late-19th century building — thick walls, large windows, high ceilings and tiled roof — ideal for the fermentation and aging of Sherry. Hidalgo El Tresillo Amontillado 34PF / 750ML El Tresillo was a card game the Hidalgo family played. Before dealing each round players would sneak a taste from the solera, enough so that the solera adopted the name of the game. Today it is one of Hidalgo’s oldest soleras, and its bottlings are considered a family treasure. Hidalgo El Tresillo Amontillado Viejo 1874 40PF / 750ML Harvest from the year of founding of this Firm 1874 and from which this Vintage emerged, whose solera has been enriched by successive “dews”. Hidalgo Especial Fino La Panesa Sherry 30PF / 750ML This Fino sherry is “especial” because it comes from a special part of the bodega sourced from a very small selection of barrels within the solera. Identified as having unique properties by Manuel Nieves, cellar master, and his predecessors over 50 years ago. Hidalgo Fino Sherry 30PF / 750ML This sherry is made entirely from the noble Palomino grapes grown pure white ‘Albarizo’ soil. The elegance is due in part to a brief aging under flor At Hidalgo, because they are a family-run bodega, they prefer to let nature take its course. Once it is determined that flor is not forming on the new Palomino stocks, these barrels are classified as Oloroso and the unique aging process begins. Hidalgo Marques de Rodil Espec Palo Cortado Sherry 37PF / 750ML Made from 100% Palomino, this special Palo Cortado is the result of a long and extraordinary selection process. Developed in an extra-special aged solera from a particular “corner” of the bodega that dates back to 1860, this rare sherry is a jewel in the Hidalgo portfolio. Hidalgo Morenita Cream Sherry 34PF / 750ML Morenita-meaning the little brunette-refers to rich brown color of this sherry. The blend of Palomino and Pedro Ximénez lends to this wine, a rich brown color with dark golden highlights. Hidalgo Pedro Ximenez Sherry 30PF / 500ML Made from 100% Pedro Ximénez (PX) grapes that were sun-dried immediately after harvest to concentrate the sugar levels. Stored in barrels in a special open air porch just outside the bodega. Sweet, but never cloying, this PX is classic and sophisticated. Hidalgo Villapanes Sherry 40PF / 750ML Villapanés is the name of the historic family estate that is situated in the heart of Jerez. As is traditional, this sherry is made entirely from noble Palomino grapes grown pure white albarizo soil. The elegance of this wine is due in part to a brief aging under flor before its oxidative aging period. before its oxidative aging period of 15 to 20 years.
