Bone-dry mature Fino is further-aged 7 years oxidatively to become an Amontillado.

"A beautifully complex, bone-dry Amontillado combining the saline freshness of its Fino origins with the richer, nuttier character of oxidative ageing. Think roasted almonds, hazelnuts, citrus, honey and a touch of rancio, finishing long, dry and savoury."
- Jancis Robinson MW

Founded in 1838, Bodegas Gutiérrez Colosía is one of the historic Sherry producers of El Puerto de Santa María, in the heart of the Marco de Jerez. What makes the bodega particularly interesting is its location: right beside the Bay of Cádiz, where the Atlantic climate and sea breezes influence the ageing of its wines.

The bodega remains family-owned and is unusual in that its cellars have no traditional roof tiles, allowing the humid maritime air to circulate freely around the barrels. This creates ideal conditions for the development of flor and gives the wines their distinctive freshness, saline character and remarkable elegance.

Gutiérrez Colosía produces a classic range of Fino, Amontillado, Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez, with the emphasis firmly on traditional Sherry-making and the character of El Puerto de Santa María.
