Alvear Asuncion Oloroso Sherry 500ml

93 POINTS: Robert Parker
91 POINTS: Guia Penin

Smooth, dry and complex fortified wine from the oldest winery in Montilla-Moriles, just outside the borders of Spain's sherry triangle. Bodega Alvear owns 300 hectares of vines and has earned a reputation for making many of Montilla's best wines, including this oloroso, which has is a blend that has been aged, on average for 10 years.

The style is on the cusp of being sweet and dry, thanks to intense caramelisation and richness of flavour. Deep, raisin intense aromas and dry to very dry flavour. Silky, soft on the palate with a dry, long, graceful finish associated with lengthy cask ageing.

ABV: 19%

Another winner from Domaine de la Baume

We've been fans of their Syrah and Chardonnay for some time and this is another go-to product we'll add to the list.
Light in colour, but plenty of depth and flavour and pleasingly dry.
Highly recommended.

love it

Bubblicious

Delicious white wines!

I haven’t tried every bottle in this selection yet, however, so far they are all very tasty. I’m a Chardonnay lover, always on the look out for a dryish not sweet wine and these are just right for me. An excellent mixed case and we’ll priced.

Rich and fruity

This was a very nice surprise in Wine Direct’s very welcome Plenty Under $20 category. Beautifully fruity, rich and smooth. Often the Plenty Under $20 range is a little light for the depth I like but I will definitely be reordering this one.

A great summer wine… elegant and a fine balance of lighter fruit and delicate acidity with a nice dry finish. Very drinkable with or without food. A nice change from our usual unoaked French Chardonnay
