RARE VINTAGE SHERRY
BODEGAS WILLIAMS & HUMBERT
The Historic Single Vintage Collection
Founded in 1877 Williams & Humbert have firmly established themselves
as one of the very finest producers of sherry in the world today.
Sherry as we normally see it is aged in a solera system, a sort o
wine pyramid where by the older wines at the bottom of the pyramid are refreshed with the younger wines at the top of the pyramid. This trickle down effect allows the producer to maintain a consistant level of quality and taste year in year out for that particular style.
However every year since 1920 Williams & Humbert have been putting aside one butt of sherry sourced from their most prized vineyard the Alamo in Balbaina. These casks have laid undisturbed, slowly maturing and ageing in the vaults of the bodega ever since and as evaporation has taken place they have been carefully racked off into smaller barrels.
The results of such a remarkable endeavor are some of the richest, ,
most complex and compelling fortified wines ever produced. With a very small amount of fining they were then bottled by hand and sealed with wax especially for NYWinesChristie's.
