Winemaker Notes
Dark, deep mahogany in color, this Sherry has toffee and hazelnut qualities backed up the richness and complexity that can only be achieved through many years of careful, patient aging in our solera. To fully appreciate this truly unique and impressive Sherry, it is best served at room temperature by itself.

Wine Enthusiast
Intense and nutty, with a searing dryness that serves it well. This style of fine Sherry is ultra-fresh but lean. The palate is dry and almost salty, with nutty subtleties and very distant flavors of apricots. Lithe and stylish throughout, with a fineness to the body that defies its age and 19.5% alcohol level.

Wine & Spirits
Touches of exotic spice and dried-fruit flavors meld into this wine’s soft texture; then a delicious acidity shines through, refreshing the flavors and adding some grip. The salt and iodine notes appear as background music. This one needs grilled trout.

Wine Spectator
Stylish, with a lightly woodsy frame to the date, dried persimmon, bitter almond and walnut notes. A singed cedar edge drives through the finish. Drink now. 300 cases made.
The origin of our winery dates back to 1765. However, in the early twentieth century, the legendary Palomino & Vergara winery was founded by Don Juan Vergara and Don Juan Palomino. Years later, these wineries would become part of Rumasa, running successfully for more than 20 years, and then passed into the hands of the first multinational of Jerez, John Harvey & Sons Ltd.
Finally, the company was purchased in 1992 by its current owner Don Jose Paez Morilla, founder of Bodegas Dios Baco, with the intention to return to the origins of its foundation. That is, to offer limited production, high quality, unbeatable products to the consumers.
Our Dios Baco cellar was built in 1848, more than 150 years ago, It was part of a complex of cellars called "The Twelve Disciples" after the disciples of Christ.
At present there are only three cellars: Bodega Baco, Bodega de la Cruz and Bodega Pio XII. The first being the most emblematic and the name given to our winery.
