"Light golden pale straw color. Dry & fresh with almond notes and hints of yeast. The mouth is slightly soft, without being sweet. The palate is round and fat with an excellent structure, volume and character, yet still very fresh and saline. Well-balanced, delicate and complex with a long, persistent finish. 100% Palomino."
Leyenda Sherries are produced by M. Gil Luque winery, part of Grupo Estevez (Owners of Valdespino). The company’s origins go back to the Lena Rendon and Co. enterprise, which was established in 1809 for ageing Sherry and Brandy. It became Felix Ruiz and Ruiz S.A. in 1894, and remained as such for 90 years. The company was then named for Jose Estevez in 1984, when the Estevez family became the primary shareholders. M.Gil Luque Winery joined to the group in 2007.
Grupo Estevez has 800 hectares of vineyards, some of them in the famous and prestigious Pago de Macharnudo. The vineyards are planted with Palomino and Pedro Ximenez grapes.
