Matusalem is a legendary Sherry. Fans of Scotch will be aware of it from the incredible things its barrels do at Dalmore. This is a dry Oloroso sweetened with Pedro Ximénez and matured in a solera*. The liquid that emerges has an average age of 30 years old and a deeply hedonistic feel.
Matusalem 30 Year Old Oloroso is the go-to sweetened Oloroso and a winner of countless awards. Expect a Cherry liqueur crème brûlée topping prunes raisins walnut baklava praline sandalwood creamy coffee leathery fig dark chocolate festive spices roasted nuts Christmas cake and mixed peel. We love to pair this with yuletide fare mature cheese (particularly stinky blues) Tarte Tatin sticky toffee pudding or chocolate. It tastes like Christmas in a glass so is always good to have in the cellar when the holiday season rolls around.
* A complex way of maturing not just Sherry but also rums brandies and vinegars. The solera system is a series of barrels with the oldest on the bottom and the youngest on the top. Sherry is bottled from the bottom row that row is then topped up from the next oldest on the level up and so on up the system the gap at the top is then filled with new Sherry. This fractional blending ensures continuity and consistency but also that the youngest wine have less influence.
