It is unique, as its origin is from Sanlucar de Barrameda, mainly from the Pago Miraflores, which produced very sharp wines. Dark mahogany colored, with a bright green border, is very aromatic, balsamic and complex, with wild herbs, candied orange rind, spices and dates. The palate is extremely concentrated, dry, and intense but it has no edges, with lively acidity and an eternal finish. It’s an extreme wine, some might find it too much, but it’s certainly unique and among the greatest wines in the world, to be sipped slowly and in tiny quantities. One of the greatest Amontillados in existence today. Drink 2013-2025. I’ve often called Valdespino “the Romanee-Conti of Jerez.” Well, there, I’ve said it. To me they represent quality and tradition at the very top of the Sherry hierarchy. The winery, soleras and brands are old, registered in 1875, but with documentation about their commercial and winegrowing activities going back to the 13th century. Their recent history starts in 1999, when Jose Estevez purchases the company from the Valdespino family. Today Valdespino is the jewel in the crown of the Grupo Estevez, which also includes Real Tesoro and La Guita, who stock and age 35,000 botas of Sherry and own 800 hectares of vineyards, 56 of which come from the Pago Macharnudo, on pure white albariza soil, one of the best vineyards in the Marco de Jerez, and 17 hectares from the heart of Macharnudo are still fermented in bota today and form the core of brands like Inocente, Tio Diego, CP or Cardenal. All the wines were carefully and slowly moved to the new facilities of the Grupo Estevez on the outskirts of Jerez, where they continue their development under the supervision of Eduardo Ojeda, technical director, winemaker, who as a wine-lover is very aware of his role preserving these old soleras, wines and traditions.

It's very difficult to work with cover crops here; it's their warmest vineyard, and they get very low yields. The part of the carbonic fermentation was harvested quite early and helped to keep the alcohol down and to retain freshness in the wine. It has aromas of graphite, dark berry fruit and an earthy touch, hints of smoked meats too, and a surprisingly light palate, only medium-bodied, with an ethereal quality to it but very energetic. It has the dusty texture of the Priorat schist. The oak is neatly integrated. None of the wines showed any oak, even though they are introducing new foudres to age their wines in larger-volume containers. 4,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy Luis Gutiérrez May 2025\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Réne Barbier","offers":[{"title":"Bottle","offer_id":55810074378620,"sku":"2510221N-FLASKE","price":72.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Case\/6 Btl","offer_id":55810074411388,"sku":"2510221N-KASSE6","price":436.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/1376\/1736\/files\/ClosMogadorManyetes_19a00d34-b3be-4967-8d68-d7cb4b06fe68.png?v=1759173655"},{"product_id":"espectacle-del-montsant-2021-75-cl","title":"Espectacle del Montsant 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2021 Espectacle del Montsant has a bright ruby color and a very perfumed and elegant nose with no signs of excess ripeness, with 14.5% alcohol.
