Decanting Time: It is not necessary to decant however we recommend to pour into the glass and leave for few minutes before drinking so the wine can breath and show its potential in aromas and taste. Once the bottle is opened, the wine will last in perfect condition for several weeks as long as it gets properly stored. Preferably to keep the wine in a dry cool place and with the bottle still standing up. That's why all Tradition wines come with a t-stopper.

Good to know: The Bodegas Tradicion VOS 20 Years Old Pedro Ximenez Sherry is a unique and exclusive sweet wine crafted from a carefully selected assortment of Pedro Ximenez grapes, which are sun-dried and vinified using traditional artisanal techniques. This exquisite wine is aged through the traditional Solera system for over two decades in American oak casks, resulting in a luscious, velvety texture with a harmonious blend of refreshing notes and gentle acidity.

This is not just a wine for aperitif. Pour it in a wine glass at the right temperature 12-14° and enjoy paring with spicy foods, raw fish like sushi or sashimi, smoked fish, caviar, artichokes, asparagus and vinegar based dishes (escabeche, pickled veggies). It also works pretty well with smoked and tasty meats such as iberico pork pluma, presa or secreto.

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).
