Description

Vintage sherry or Jerez de Añada is extremely rare, so rare that a lot of introductions to sherry wines will tell you it doesn’t exist. Obviously the Solera system is essential to sherry and accounts for the vast majority of production, but vintages do exist. In fact before the invention and development of the solera principle in the second half of the 18th century, all sherry was bottled as a vintage, and the añada concept was still widely in use until the 20th century.

Añadas don’t enter the solera, these butts are filled and then just sit there without being mixed with others casks or without being periodically refreshed with younger wine. Almost every bodega will have a few butts that are kept aside, or sometimes a small solera that is not (or very rarely) refreshed. The main purpose for this is to have a back-up: the wines inside these butts will age much quicker than a solera and this old wine can act as a high quality support for soleras that need a bit of tweaking. However until recently most bodegas didn’t market these wines.

The first añadas released by Gonzalez Byass were the Oloroso 1963 and Oloroso 1966. The year after, the Oloroso Añada 1964 was marketed. Since then, we’ve seen a list of other vintages: 1967, 1969, 1970, 1979. We’ve also seen 1978, 1979 and 1982 vintages that were Palo Cortado. The latest vintage has been the 1982 Añada, an Oloroso which is still available from the Gonzalez Byass website for around € 220. Depending on the vintage, between 500 and 3000 bottles will be available.

This is number 395 of a release of 872 bottles.
