Williams Paolo Medina ‘Campanilero’ Fino de Anada 2012 500ml
One of the large, historical houses of conventional sherry-making, Williams and Humbert nowadays offer a layer of distinct wines within the fluidity of 'Sherry' styles. Under the young generation leadership of Paola Medina Sheldon, the Williams Colleción is a series of astonishingly delicate and singular Finos and Olorosos - statically-aged single-vintage wines, with terroir as important as bodega influences. Paola mainly takes fruit from the 'las Conchas' vineyard within Pago Añina and some old vines in Pago Carrascal.
This is all about rise and fall within a fabulous Sherry rim approximating a Margarita, with salt, aldehyde, mandarin blossom. Within golden, flossed brass-caramel threads run through a bed of ripe barley and rice, with flor in ginger biscuit. It’s deep, soft and round, an ovoid oral disc filled with field and coastal elements. A compelling, inviting wine of cereal and chalk. Importer Notes.
