The name Bodega de Forlong comes from the olivar de Forlón by the way, an ancient olive grove and vineyards which belonged to a British merchant called Peter Furlong who was also involved in sherry production (Bodegas Matthiesen Furlong, dissolved in the 19th century).
This is called imaginary friend as it unites several traditions: white and red wine production techniques, but also unfortified wine coupled to a Oloroso sherry barrel. The current-day complexity of the sherry region in a glass.
100% Palomino grapes from the Finca Plantalina in the pago Balbaína Alta, from biodynamic vines that are 40-50 years of age, on albariza soil (sub-type Lustrillo).
Stunning & out there wine for geeks like me!
