Description
Oloroso is a sherry that ripens without flor. To prevent flor formation, the wine is immediately fortified to
17% alc. This gives the Oloroso its structure and dark mahogany-like color. The grapes all come from one vineyard in Pago de Añina y Macharnudo of lbariza soil (lime); so a single vineyard and located DOC Jerez-Xérès-Sherry. The Juan Piñero Amontillado is 100% made from the Palomino Fino grape with 30 years aging in American oak barrels in a 3-vat criadera system, of which about 12 years under (partial) flor.
This Juan Piñero Oloroso is a powerful and complex sherry. In the nose, this Oloroso VORS (Very Old Rare Sherry) is nutty, spicy with notes of candied orange, balsamic, tobacco, truffle, leather. In the mouth the sherry is dry, powerful with toasted notes. Structured with a very long powerful finish. Delicious with aged cheeses, mushrooms, beef and game stews and perfect with real Belotta Jamom . Store in a cool, dark place after opening, 4 to 6 weeks after opening.

Extremely powerful and aromatic, with super intense notes of incense and noble woods, the NV Oloroso VORS is a lot older and has not been refreshed for the last three years. It's incredibly focused and defined, really intense and concentrated by sheer old age and reaching the 22% alcohol, 6.15 grams of acidity and no less than seven grams of sugar that goes completely unnoticeable. This is powerful and at the same time terribly elegant with gobsmacking balance. Intensity to the limit. A carbon-14 test resulted in an average age of over 50 years. Awesome! 1,000 bottles of 50-centiliters.
I tasted a few wines from Juan Piñero last time, mostly the Manzanilla Maruja, and now I tasted a whole range that is currently not exported to the US.
Juan Piñero bought an old 'bodega' from the early 20th century in Sanlúcar in 1995 and acquired the Maruja solera from Terry. He operated as an 'almacenista' and used to sell wines mainly to La Gitana, but has recently started bottling and selling his wines. They have aging facilities both in Sanlúcar for Manzanilla and Jerez for the Fino. They do not own vineyards, but purchase must from the Pago del Hornillo - a renowned vineyard in Sanlúcar. They stock 3,000 old Sherry casks ranging from 40 to 100 years of age and produce an average of 50,000 bottles per year. Prices are approximated based on retail prices in Spain.
