Another gem from the cellar. It’s going to be a sad day when we run out of Wellington wines. — 3 years ago

VOS (very old Sherry), 100% Palominofrom the estate’s vineyards in Pago de Miraflores in Sanlúcar (just 3km. from the Atlantic Ocean) and Balbaína in El Puerto de Santa María, also exposed to the Poniente winds from the Atlantic. Due to this Atlantic influence, wines from these Pagos tend to be lighter, more delicate than those further inland, and this is a great example. Delicate, elegant nose with aromas of orange peel, raisins and a hint of spices. Slightly salty (clealy Sanlúcar). Persistent, hazelnuts — 4 years ago

Who says white wines don’t age? They never tasted Wellington Marsanne. After 17 years, still tastes great. — 9 months ago

Nicely integrated tannins, still some fresh fruits left after 13+ years. Cherries, red raspberries. Peter made wines to last. — 5 years ago

Packed with a number of ‘09 Wellington wines, so best guess is around that same time for the NV Duke. In any case, it held up beautifully. — 2 years ago

Peter sure did make wonderful wines of all kinds. His Zins are exceptional. And they age beautifully. — 3 years ago

Berries with a light straw mixed in. Smooth with no bite or sour notes. Excellent with Beef Wellington. — 4 years ago
