Bodegas Hidalgo La Gitana Las 30 del Cuadrado Cepas Viejos 2019
The Hidalgo family teamed up with famous Rioja winemaker Basillo Izquierdo to make this creation. The Palomino grapes, which are the key ingredient in the dry sherries that we love, are pressed lightly and vinified before being aged in ex-manzanilla casks.
Buttery and creamy Palomino with zippy lemon like acidity all balanced by a nutty and salty finish. In our opinion you will start to see more of this style coming from the province of Jerez. It is the perfect marriage between sherry and an aged Chablis.
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.
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.
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
