El Maestro Sierra is one of the most traditional bodegas in Jerez. Founded in 1830 by master cooler Jose Antonio Sierra, he had longed to be in the Sherry trade and found the going tough as the industry as dominated by the aristocratic families. Over the years, this humble worker grew his business to become one of the most respected almacenistas and is still run by his ancestors today. Today, El Maestro Sierra is the first bodega run entirely by women. Direct descendant, Dr Carmen Borrego Pla run things with her colleagues with a focus on quality, tradition, and zero additions of SO2 which all help maintain their trademark yeasty flor notes. "A complex nuttiness on the nose complimented with hints of prune developing into a toffee/caramel like bouquet. A fuller style on the palate with a warming, toasty finish."
