What it pairs with

With cheese

Queso de cabra payoya Our pick Payoyo describes its cured goat cheese as dark straw and smooth, with an intense goat flavour. A dry Oloroso, aged entirely in contact with air, has the depth to match it, and sherry.wine calls Oloroso the perfect match for well cured cheeses.

History

La Cigarrera's Oloroso En Rama represents the bodega's fully oxidative tier bottled without filtration. The combination of old Sanlúcar solera and en rama bottling produces a wine that captures both the marine Atlantic character of the location and the deep oxidative complexity of long solera ageing.
