Still sourcing fruit from the original estate vineyard, established circa 1300, generations of winemakers at Bodegas Valdespino have made major contributions to the refined art of crafting fine old Sherry. Some of the antique barrels which hold stocks of maturing Valdespino, are up to a hundred years of age, they are cherished as an invaluable endowment and repaired at the estate cooperage, time and time again. A film of indigenous winery flora yeasts serve to keep the wine stable as it ages, imparting and infusing wonderful characters into the Sherry as it evolves over the course of many years.
