Harveys V.O.R.S. (meaning ‘Vinum Optimum Rare Signatum’ but often expressed in English as ‘Very Old Rare Sherries’) are a series of Sherries that are certified by the Consejo Regulador de la Denominacion de Origin to be more than 30 years of age. When you consider how much a 30-year-old Scotch would cost or the fact that an X.O. Cognac might only be six years of age it becomes obvious that these Sherries offer remarkable value for money. Although wonderful all year round we particularly love sipping them over the Christmas season and they make a wonderful 30th anniversary presents or a cheeky gift for that ‘very old rare’ person in your life!
The 30 Year Old V.O.R.S. Amontillado Sherry was drawn from a solera founded in 1914. At the International Wine Challenge 2016 it was awarded the prestigious prize as “The Best Wine in All Categories”. Nutty brown in colour it presents aromas of burnt orange peel polished antique oak and roasted hazelnuts. On the velvety palate there’s more of the same plus cedar honey lemon zest and salted almonds. Serve lightly chilled alongside salted nuts tangy hard cheese pâté on toasted sourdough crème brûlée or praline. Alternatively it’s robust enough to stand up to meaty broths like ramen and pho tomato-based Indian curries Massaman or Thai red curry.
Harveys is a global icon of Sherry. The world-famous company was established on Denmark Street in Bristol in 1796 by the merchant William Perry. During the 19th Century it became one of the largest importers of fortified wine from the Bay of Cadiz to the port in the West Country. In 1882 John Harvey II and his brother Edward created Harveys Bristol Cream using a meticulous blend of Fino Oloroso Amontillado and Pedro Ximénez matured in American oak casks using the traditional system of soleras and criaderas. A legend was born and the company hasn’t stopped innovating or seeking out the best vineyards and bodegas in Spain’s Jerez region since. Today their Sherry is crafted by the super-experienced Manuel José Valcárcel who has been the Harveys Master Blender for more than two decades.
