Solid but not a crowd pleaser
Bought this for a dinner party and I enjoyed it but a couple of friends weren't sure what to make of it. It's dry and quite saline which I liked, but it's definitely not a safe bet if your guests just want something fruity. That said, the quality is there for the price.

Bit of an acquired taste
I can tell this is well made and the clean finish is nice, but I think I was expecting something different at £19. It's very dry and that salty edge took me by surprise. Might try it again with tapas or something but on its own it wasn't really my thing.

Really surprised by this one
Picked this up after the guy at the wine shop recommended it. I don't usually go for sherry-style wines but the salty, fresh thing it does is really moreish. Had it chilled with some olives and almonds on a Friday night and honestly it was perfect. Great value at under £20.

Goes brilliantly with food
Had this at a Spanish restaurant and loved it so much I tracked down a bottle. Bone dry with a sort of savoury, almost nutty depth to it. Poured it alongside some prawns and jamón at home and it was just as good. At 14% it's got a bit of kick too. Will be buying more.
