Valdespino is a tiny crown jewel of a winery that exists within a much larger wine and spirits company called Grupo Estevez. The goal of the winery is to use all the possible resources of the company to make some of the finest, most distinctive and artisinally-produced Sherries that are available today. This "spare no expense" approach applies to everythng from the entry-level Finos and Manzanillas all the way up to their uber-rare and amazingly complex VOS and VORS wines that hearken from ancient and well-kept soleras.

The origins of this historic bodega date back to 1264 when Don Alfonso Valdespino, one of 24 Knights responsible for expelling the Moors from Jerez, was rewarded for his efforts by the king, granting him land in the city of Jerez. And thus began Bodegas Valdespino! - Polaner

Wine Notes: 
Old Valdespino Oloroso with a touch of PX. Oxidative aging is over 20 years. The solera was first started in 1842.
The color is an intense mahogany. On the nose there is a hint of prunes with toasted nuts. The palate has a great jam and toast quality with a touch of spice.
