Growers and almacenistas, the Valdespino family has been involved in the Sherry business for nearly 700 years. Though recently acquired by the Estévez family, the bodega can still claim to be the oldest in Jerez. Contrabandista evolves under a veiled flor for 8 years, aging further in solera for another 8 before a dash of Pedro Ximenez is added to finish the blend. Sublime.
