Topic: Oloroso


  
  Oloroso
Oloroso ('scented' in Spanish) is a variety of sherry generally produced to be sweeter than fino and amontillado.
Unlike the fino and amontillado sherries, in oloroso sherries the flor yeast is suppressed by fortification at an earlier stage.
Oloroso sherry is also the base for many of the sherries developed for the international market, such as Pale Cream or Bristol Cream, in which oloroso is sweetened and coloured to achieve a desired effect.

Olorosos are not aged under flor and are fortified to a strength that kills the flor.
Wines destined to become rich, mahogany-colored oloroso style wines are fortified to a higher strength of around 18% to prevent the formation of flor.
Most Olorosos are sweetened before bottling with Pedro Ximénez, or are used as the base wine in the even sweeter Cream sherries.

 Wine: Best Producers: Sherry from Spain
Oloroso, in Spanish, means fragrant, and a good Oloroso will be intensely aromatic in a way that is similar to an Amontillado yet more rounded.
Unlike an Amontillado, however, which had a sense of lightness imparted by its development as a Fino, an Oloroso is richer and develops further viscosity with age.
These are truly dessert Sherries, in that, unlike an Amoroso, the initial complexity of the Oloroso is largely masked by the Pedro Ximenez or Moscatel which is used to sweeten it.

 Gonzalez Byass Matusalem Oloroso Dulce 30 Años
Despite my mini-exploration of some of the leading Sherry producers a year or two ago, I must confess it is still something that I don't drink very often.
Now purists may well wince at the though of a sweetened Sherry, as true Oloroso, a wine which never developed a coating of flor and thus developed a deep, nut brown colour with flavour to match, is traditionally a dry wine.
Butts of oloroso may left in the sun to engender a baked or burnt character which adds an extra dimension, but the sweetness can only come through the addition of sweet wine, usually in the form of some Pedro Ximénez.

The Amontillado should be drunk chilled to understand all the subtleties of this great Jerez, whereas the Oloroso shows best at room temperature.
The Solera in which one produces Amontillado and Oloroso sherries has, in general, 3 levels of barriques, one over the other.
The barriques are never totally full and Oloroso maintains contact with the air inside ('flor' does not develop on the surface of the liquid as in Amontillado), which darkens and concentrates the developing sherry.
