Wonderful, classic Lopez. Great wine. Great food wine. Moderate oxidative character that is lovely and balanced

One of my all time favorites. This vintage is singing. Love the chalky freshness along with the nuttiness and aldehydic notes. So happy to have more in the cellar.

An acquired taste. If you like Fino Sherry, you will like this. I don't like Fino Sherry due to the lack of acidity, but this wine fixed that issue. Gold color of medium intensity. Medium nose with loads of salt water, hazelnuts, almonds and lemon curd. Similar profile on the palate with medium I tensity and a lingering finish. Hint: don't drink this too cold as that will mask the wine's complexity. Goes well with chocolate ice cream!
