In this wine, the Pedro Ximénez influence is less present, here we can reach the boundaries between a sweet and dry wine. Matured for more than 10 years in oak barrels. As opposed to the Fino, Alvear produces their Oloroso by impeding the development of the Velo de Flor, where a thin layer of yeast formes aiding the natural ageing process. Due to the abundance of natural sugars in the Pedro Ximénez grapes, no alcohol is required at any stage of production or ageing.
