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.
It is a great wine to drink. Always great to taste a fabulous chardonnay. Hope you can bring the Domaine Collotte Chardonnay. It will sell like very well in New Zealand. Please advise when it is available.
For this sort of money you could buy a decent NZ chard....but this wine transcends you to a small village to the east of the Rhone on a balmy summers night...once you have been there you will want to go back again and again
Not tasted yet but have been buying this wine from Wine Direct for as long as they have been importing it .....fact is Grand Veneur only make the good stuff
