Alberto Orte, Oloroso, El Aljibe,  Bodegas Poniente Saca 1/23 

Tasting Note: A light, tawny-colored Sherry, distinctly Oloroso, scents of walnut skin and toffee offset by bright notes of orange and lemon zest with some crystallized ginger.
On the palate, apple, toasted nuts, vanilla and a touch of curry spices. Full bodied, with a rich texture that engulfs the palate with an extraordinarily long finish.

Country: Spain  Region: Jerez
ABV: 20%  Bottle Size: 750ml   Natural: Yes   

Additional Information: This Oloroso comes from a system of five criaderas and one solera, with a median age of over 30 years. The wines used to refresh the fifth criadera comes from Alberto's organically farmed estate vineyards in the Pago Añina, from a meticulous clonal selection of more than 200 ancient and mostly forgotten clones of Palomino.Bodegas Poniente sherries are the product of the thoughtful blending of precious, treasured soleras and criaderas from the 18th and 19th centuries, refreshed in the traditional method each year with wine from our own organically farmed estate vineyards (San Cristóbal, San José y El Aljibe) in the Pago Añina, one of only three Pago sites in Jerez designated as Jerez Superior. They are one of the few bodegas that age their wines surrounded by the vineyards, the wines are produced and aged within the historical estate, a restored house tucked among the vines of El Aljibe.
