This exceptional Amontillado, aged gracefully for over two decades in the traditional solera system, showcases the depth and complexity achieved through time and dedication.
Its captivating iodine-amber hue hints at the rich tapestry of flavors within. The nose entices with a delicate interplay of pungent aromas - toasted almonds, subtle iodine, and hints of beeswax and hazelnut. On the palate, the sherry is both elegant and enveloping, revealing a symphony of dried fruits, spices, and a lingering saline touch. A firm backbone of acidity adds vibrancy and balance, ensuring a satisfyingly long and dry finish.
Crafted exclusively from Palomino Fino grapes, this Amontillado embodies the unique terroir of Jerez, where the sun-drenched vineyards and Atlantic influence create ideal conditions for sherry production. After five years of biological aging under flor, the wine is fortified and enters the solera system for further oxidative maturation, gaining complexity and intensity with each passing year.
This exquisite sherry, bottled at 19% ABV, is a testament to the unwavering commitment to quality that defines Bodegas Rey Fernando de Castilla. Enjoy it with a variety of dishes, from smoked fish and pickles to a comforting consommé, or simply savor its nuanced flavors on its own.
