Nose: big, generous nose with a wide fruitiness (juicy figs, dried dates, some apricots), an intense caramel touch and lovely waxy aromas (polished furtniture, beeswax, treated leather). Hints of cinnamon buns, vanilla cream and roasted almonds. Caramel coated peanuts as well.
Mouth: lovely intensity. It opens with the same hints of dried fruits, with an off-sweet roundness and a nicely balancing acidity. Its texture velvety smooth. Plenty of spicy notes (pepper, hints of clove) and a clear woody edge. Concentrated but it shows a lot of elegance as well. Long, slightly drier aftertaste. Some roasted notes and still a hint of caramel.

Description
El Cerro is the Oloroso in a series of four wines that was released by the small bodega Callejuela in 2015. The Blanco brothers started making wine in 1980 and they are bottling it under their name since 2015. With this series, they immediately attracted attention among sherry lovers.
The grapes for this wine are coming from the owners’ own vineyards which surround the bodega and for the winemaking the owners are assisted by Ramiro Ibáñez. It is bottled en rama, with minimal filtering. In January 2016, El Mundo Vino – the wine chapter of Spanish newspaper El Mundo – selected its ‘wines of the year’ and awarded El Cerro in the category of sweet / sparkling / fortified wines.
