Good to know: this Oloroso Tradicion VORS has an average age of 45 years! Through the very traditional and exclusive method from Jerez wines “Solera System”, the different vintages are blended into a single one then bottled.
This is not just a wine for aperitif. Pour it in a wine glass at the right temperature 12-14° and enjoy paring with cheeses, iberico products, ox tail, ribs, game, sausages. Its performance is also amazing when paired with eggs cooked at any way, even for egg-based desserts such as crème brûlée or custard. Exceptional for after lunch drink and one of the few wines which paired with an Havana cigar like no other
The original company was founded in 1650, which hold the oldest of the sherry brands known to date. Tradicion is the newest wine project within the family after 11 generations. Focusing on very old sherry, not-chill filtered, not blended, not stabilized, not clarified, unsweetened, and with no addition of sulfates was a very unique and adventurous strategy indeed. Tradicion search for the purest style of classic sherry and aim to produce outstanding wines certified with more than thirty years of age or V.O.R.S. (Very Old Rare Sherry) or more than twenty years of age or V.O.S (Very Old Sherry).
