History
El Maestro Sierra's Oloroso 15 Años is produced from fully oxidative soleras that have never had contact with flor. The minimum 15-year age commitment results in significantly greater depth and complexity than commercial Olorosos. The small bodega in Jerez's historic centre maintains these old soleras with no artificial acceleration.
