The Producer

The passing time and its core idea of quality over quantity have made El Maestro Sierra wines into little works of art; wines of extreme age and quality, and recognized all over the world. That is the summary of the philosophy of the winery that, after a stage of direction since 1976 by the exceptional figure of Mrs. Pilar Plá Pechovierto, now faces a new one with her daughter, Maria del Carmen Borrego Plá. A calm and gradual transfer throughout the last years in which the winery, teacher and scientist has been adding to the already extraordinary business work of her mother her personal imprint deepening with scientific rigor in the diffusion of the Sherry wines culture.

Before and now, in the new stage, the winery has deserved to be included, twice in the last ten years among the 100 Best Wineries in the World, in 2011 and 2017.

Vinification

The basic Palomino grape must is fortified up to 18% of alcohol. From this moment it will start ageing in 500 litre American oak butts through a process of oxidation. Throughout the ageing, the wine will constantly be exposed to the air and the slow action of the oxygen in the system of criaderas and soleras.

The slow evaporation of water from the wine during the 15 years of ageing will aid a process of concentration. This will encourage the wine to acquire the typical structure and complexity of the Oloroso.
