Since 2000, really old Sherries have been entitled to use the words VOS (Very Old Sherry) and VORS (Very Old Rare Sherry) on their labels if they are over 20 and 30 years old respectively.
It even has a little train to haul you around the flower-filled grounds, stopping off at huge warehouses stacked to the ceiling with casks containing Tio Pepe and Croft Original and smaller, secret cellars housing the oak-aged sherries reserved for the royals, the rich and the famous.
Once open, fino and manzanilla sherries should be stored in the fridge and drunk within three days.
