El Maestro Sierra can trace its history as an almacenista (wholesaler) in Jerez back to the 1830s, when it was founded by José Antonio Sierra, a top cooper in the region. Wanting to be involved in the sherry trade more directly, he began to age sherry in his own barrels. Today, the winery is still owned by descendants who continue to age and manage the sherry stocks. They incorporate an artisanal approach to their sherries, carefully choosing select stocks of wine, aging them carefully in barrels maintained by their in-house cooper, and manually transferring wines from criadera to criadera by hand as they age.
- Grapes: 100% Palomino Fino
- Farming: Sustainable
- Terroir / Soil: Jerez de la Frontera
- Vinfication: Aged in solera for 15 years, without flor.
- Tasting Notes: A compelling, long-aged Oloroso Sherry at an incredible value. Oxidative and nutty, this dry sherry comes across with roasted hazelnuts, sweet caramel and hints of leathery tobacco on the nose, but the palate presents dry, salty and intensely aromatic, packing a punch of salty nuttiness that linger for minutes on the palate.
