In January 2020, we went to the traditional sherry region in the south of Spain to source our own sherry barrels for our Zenne y Frontera projects.

One of the resurrecting bodegas in the area is that of Fernández-Gao. With quite a full and rich family history, and after the decay of the traditional sherry heritage, this house sold its wines—and eventually its bodega—to other, bigger and internationally reputed merchants. Disappeared late sixties, the bodega and associated brands got recovered in 2014, introducing a new generation restoring the original bodega locations and offering again refined sherries from older family soleras.

We selected a barrel that held Palo Cortado for 33 years and put two jonge lambikken for over a good year. The weighted average age of the lambikken while bottling was 28 months.

Back check in, one of four Zenne single barrel sherry lambic at share. Light straw bronze appearance with light head that recedes quickly to a collar around the edge. Soft oak, sherry, grape skin, lemon, funk. Medium body, moderate carbonation, soft and silky on the tongue. Privileged to have tasted.
