Oloroso
The Guiterrez Colosia Oloroso is a sherry according to tradition. Oloroso is a term used to describe the very strongly scented aged sherry wines. Olor = smell. The Oloroso sherry comes from a 15-year-old Solera. The wine has an amber color in the glass. In the nose the wine is intense with dried fruit, nuts, citrus, subtle sweet tip in the background. In the mouth the wine is medium-bodied with a reflection of the odor components in the taste. An Oloroso with character and body, dry finish. elegant and incomparable to the mass-produced sherries.
Gutiérrez Colosía has its vineyards mainly on albariza lands in Jerez Superior (Balbaina Alta, Balbaina Baja and Los Tercios), these are the typical bright white colored soils. Albariza consists of more than 60% lime (calcium carbonate, a remnant from the Oligocene – 33 to 23 million years ago – when this area was still completely covered with water). When it rains, the ground turns into a thick paste. But when the sun comes through, the soil dries out into a smooth and reflective crust that retains moisture and protects the grapevines. In contrast to the masses of sherry wineries, this is a small-scale house with an emphasis on only quality. Authentic with a more than excellent value4money
