Amontillado means “made in the style of Montilla” and in its purest version such as is the case with this wine, has developed through 15 years ageing in oak barrel soleras. It's exposure to ageing both with and without natural yeast "Flor" presence, lends it colour, complexity and rich full palate while retaining the freshness of its origins as a Fino.
A harmonious blend of finesse, elegance and age. Pungent well developed nose, with an inimitable character of nuts and dried figs. Deep flavour and smoky character both soft and strong. Silky dry on the palate with a very long finish true to its complex structure.
If you like full bodied Italian style reds particularly Amarone then this is a really good everyday drinking alternative. Especially suited for winter meals or perhaps bbq lamb in summer. I’ve just finished ordering some more.
A great range to select from but scored 4 for a 2 day delivery in AKL & challenges in processing my order online.
