Amontillado sits between the lighter Fino and richer Oloroso styles, developing through a unique dual-ageing process that creates its signature amber hue and complex flavour profile. The wine begins under flor yeast before deliberate oxidative ageing adds depth and concentration.

Nose: Toasted hazelnuts, dried apricot, and hints of caramelised orange peel greet the senses, with subtle oak undertones adding warmth and dimension.

Palate: Medium-bodied with elegant structure, offering roasted almond, toasted walnut, and dried fig flavours complemented by savoury notes reminiscent of salted caramel and aged balsamic. The texture shows fine balance between richness and refreshing acidity.

Finish: Persistent and warming, with lingering nutty complexity and a gentle salty-sweet interplay that invites contemplation.

Pair with manchego cheese, roasted almonds, or Spanish tapas including jamón serrano and marinated olives.

Serve lightly chilled at 12-14°C in a traditional copita glass or white wine glass to appreciate the aromatic complexity.

An excellent choice for those exploring fortified wines, sherry collectors seeking everyday drinking options, or anyone looking for a distinctive alternative to standard aperitif wines.
