Luis Gutierrez, wine critic of the North American bimonthly publication <em>The Wine Advocate<\/em> for Robert Parker, describes Barbadillo as one of the most dynamic of all the traditional producers.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bodegas Barbadillo\u2019s commitment to the maintenance of its old solera systems in the Sherry region, combined with cutting-edge innovation, have resulted in some highly positive reviews in renowned specialist international media. Most recently with Jancis Robinson\u2019s publication and now with the latest journey to the region by Luis Guti\u00e9rrez, wine critic of the North American bimonthly publication The Wine Advocate for Robert Parker.<\/p>\n<p>Luis Gutierrez describes Barbadillo as one of the most dynamic of all the traditional producers. This sentence undoubtedly recognises the great steps that the Sanlucar based firm has made over many decades. As it happens, the current Head of Production, Montserrat Molina, joined the winery in 1997 with the specific aim of implanting an ecological innovation division. Likewise, Gutierrez stresses that over the last seven years, Barbadillo has shifted from marketing three types of Manzanilla sherries to offering ten different styles. Each one of them featuring a different and complementary expression within the world of biological ageing&#8211;the true key to the region\u2019s success for more than 300 years.<\/p>\n<p>Three of these new manzanillas have achieved very high scores on the latest Wine Advocate list: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barbadillo.com\/en\/product\/nave-trinidad\/\">Nave Trinidad<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barbadillo.com\/en\/product\/pastora\/\">Pastora<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barbadillo.com\/en\/product\/manzanilla-as-de-mirabras-sumatorio\/\">Manzanilla \u00c1S de Mirabr\u00e1s Sumatorio<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-109185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.barbadillo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Barbadillo-Reliquia-Palo-Cortado.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-109187\" src=\"https:\/\/www.barbadillo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/San-Roberto-Amontillado_-Bota-unica-1-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"83\" height=\"200\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-109189\" src=\"https:\/\/www.barbadillo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Manzanilla-Pastora.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"137\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Alongside the diversification of these flor-aged wines; new, still, white table wines from the Sherry region have been created. Wines like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barbadillo.com\/en\/product\/sabalo\/\">S\u00e1balo<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barbadillo.com\/en\/product\/mirabras\/\">Mirabr\u00e1s<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barbadillo.com\/en\/product\/patinegro\/\">Patinegro<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barbadillo.com\/en\/product\/as-de-mirabras\/\">\u00c1S de Mirabr\u00e1s<\/a> received excellent reviews and were also given high scores. These four wines suggest a highly intense level of engagement with these cutting-edge regional offerings and the search for new consumers. They are four very different wines from each other that show the wealth of opportunities to make top quality white wines.<\/p>\n<p>To conclude, and going beyond the diversification and innovation with which Barbadillo is so closely identified, we must not overlook the very old casks to be found in Barbadillo\u2019s cellars after over 200 years of family ownership. As a result, Luis Guti\u00e9rrez mentions two sherries of outstanding quality. The first of these is one of the so called \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barbadillo.com\/en\/?s=reliquia&amp;post_type=product&amp;dgwt_wcas=1&amp;lang=en\">Reliquia<\/a>\u2019 (Relic) sherries, from an ancient solera system that was granted the maximum distinction as a Palo Cortado Sherry. The second line is what Barbadillo calls its \u2018Unique Casks\u2019. One of these wines: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barbadillo.com\/en\/product\/palo-cortado-san-roberto-bota-1-1\/\">Palo Cortado San Roberto<\/a>, stands proud within the magnificent group of aged wines produced by the bodega, obtaining once again a score of 100 points. Furthermore, Tamlyn Currin, taster at the acclaimed Jancis Robinson\u00a0publication, particularly relevant in the United Kingdom, recently showcased her outstanding scores for the San Roberto Sherries and for the Atam\u00e1n range of vermouths and quinines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE WINE ADVOCATE<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 Palo Cortado San Roberto -100 points<br \/>\n\u2022 Palo Cortado Reliquia &#8211; 100 points<br \/>\n\u2022 Amontillado San Roberto Bota \u00danica 1\/2 &#8211; 98 points<br \/>\n\u2022 Amontillado Reliquia &#8211; 98 points<br \/>\n\u2022 Palo Cortado Arboledilla &#8211; 97 points<br \/>\n\u2022 Amontillado San Roberto Bota \u00danica 2\/2 &#8211; 96 points<br \/>\n\u2022 Pedro Xim\u00e9nez Reliquia &#8211; 96 points<br \/>\n\u2022 Oloroso Reliquia &#8211; 95 points<br \/>\n\u2022 Manzanilla Pasada Pastora &#8211; 94 points<br \/>\n\u2022 Manzanilla AS de Mirabr\u00e1s 2019 &#8211; 94 points<br \/>\n\u2022 White Mirabr\u00e1s 2016 &#8211; 93 points<br \/>\n\u2022 Manzanilla Fina in Rama Trinidad &#8211; 92 points<br \/>\n\u2022 White with crianza Mirabr\u00e1s 2019 &#8211; 92 points<br \/>\n\u2022 White with crianza Patinegro 2020 &#8211; 91 points<br \/>\n\u2022 White of albariza AS de Mirabr\u00e1s 2020 &#8211; 90 points<br \/>\n\u2022 White of albariza S\u00e1balo 2021 &#8211; 90 points<\/p>\n<p><strong>JANCISROBINSON.com<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 Amontillado San Roberto Unic Barrel 1\/2 &#8211; 20 \/ 20 points<br \/>\n\u2022 Palo Cortado San Roberto -19.5 \/ 20 points<br \/>\n\u2022 Atam\u00e1n Inquina 19 \/ 20<br \/>\n\u2022 Atam\u00e1n V 19.5\/20<br \/>\n\u2022 Amontillado San Roberto Unic Barrel 2\/2 -18 \/ 20 points<br \/>\n\u2022 Atam\u00e1n Vermut new formulation 18 \/ 20<\/p>\n<p>Bodegas Barbadillo would like to thank Luis Gutierrez, Tamlyn Currin, and all the wine critics who habitually travel to the Jerez region.
