THE WINERY
Bodegas Argüeso is a historic Sherry producer reborn and revived. Located in coastal Sanlucar de Barrameda, it was founded by León de Argüeso y Argüeso in 1822. Originally from Burgos in the North of Spain, he settled in Sanlúcar where he opened a small grocery store called Almacén del Reloj. Shortly after, he acquired an old solera from the bodega San José in Santo Domingo, with an estimated age of over 250 years.
In 2016, Argüeso was acquired by Bodegas Yuste, with a view to increasing the reputation of the wines. They have invested heavily in Argüeso, including the employment of their own team of in-house coopers who have been tasked with repairing and upgrading all the barrels within the company as it returns to its former glory. Every week owner Francisco Yuste tastes from each barrel to ensure that his are among the finest sherry wines and vinegars in Spain.
TASTING NOTES
Bight mahogany colour with light tints of orange. On the nose, this cream sherry is sharp and intense with notes of dried toasted nuts and raisins. On the mouth is persistent, rounded with lots of body.
FOOD PAIRING
This is a versatile wine, perfect with semi-cured and blue cheeses but also with desserts and ice cream. With an average age of 20 years, once opened you can keep this sherry for a long period. Serve slightly chilled.
