On their way home, workers would stop by the bodega’s shop, and along with ordering their usual wine, they’d request a large bottle of Oloroso with a touch of Pedro Ximénez for their wives, making the wine taste more "amoroso," or loveable. This semi-sweet sherry is medium to full-bodied with a rich, velvety texture. The flavours are intense, featuring dates, toffee, hazelnuts, and molasses, complemented by a gentle sweetness from the Pedro Ximénez. The finish is long and balanced, with lingering notes of dried fruit, nuts, and a touch of salinity that keeps the wine from being overly sweet. It will pair wonderfully with aged cheeses, nuts, and rich desserts like chocolate cake or almond tart. El Maestro Sierra is one of the most traditional bodegas in Jerez. Founded in 1830 by master cooler José Antonio Sierra, he had longed to be in the Sherry trade and found the going tough as the industry as dominated by the aristocratic families. Over the years, this humble worker grew his business to become one of the most respected almacenistas and is still run by his ancestors today. Today, El Maestro Sierra is the first bodega run entirely by women. Direct descendant, Dr Carmen Borrego Plá run things with her colleagues with a focus on quality, tradition, and zero additions of SO2 which all help maintain their trademark yeasty flor notes.
