Laura Moscatel, Bodegas Barbadillo

Bodegas Barbadillo was founded in 1821 in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. For two hundred years the family has been devoted to making quality wine with respect for tradition and a passion for innovation. This enduring commitment has earned Barbadillo its place as the foremost specialist in all sherry styles. With their origins in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, we are excited to introduce their range of exceptional Manzanillas. Their innovative approach is the future of this region, evolving and creating new styles to suit every palate. In their seventh generation of wine production the family are still looking at the future.

Description Process: When the Moscatel must has reached a certain degree of extended maturation, it is fortified with wine-based distilled spirit to bring the alcohol content up to 19%. Once clean and stable it passes to the criaderas where it is left to mature through the process of oxidative ageing. This is achieved through the oxidation of the wine whilst in barrel and racking within each tier of the criadera. This traditional system is characterised by the carefully orchestrated movement of wine between the soleras and criaderas within each cellar. With this particular wine, the ageing process lasts for a period of 5 years.
