Barbadillo - Cuco - Oloroso 12 years - 19.5%
Bodegas Barbadillo is located in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, in the Jerez region of Spain . The company was created in 1821, when Benigno Barbadillo y Ortigüela, accompanied by his cousin Manuel López Barbadillo, returned to Spain after making his fortune in Mexico and after decreeing Aztec independence from the Spanish Empire. He moved to Sanlúcar de Barrameda and acquired his first winery. Under his direction, he began to quickly distribute his wines in different regions of Spain and exported the first casks of sherry to the United Kingdom and America. Benigno died in 1837 and his eldest son Manuel took over the business which is now known as Bodegas Barbadillo. Today it is one of the oldest family businesses in Spain and with 500 hectares of vineyard, 16 aging cellars in Sanlúcar de Barrameda and a winery for white and red grapes, one of the most great bodegas in Jerez.
Cuco is made from oxidatively aged Palomino to achieve an Oloroso style. It comes from a hundred-year-old solera.
