My Amontillado 3/10 is blended from three barrels in two 5 barrel clases (Sanlúcar term for criaderas) within the 16 scales between Juan Piñero’s Maruja Manzanilla solera and Amontillado solera. Eighteen years average age, but due to the solera management, showing more like a 12-15 year old, it has aromatics of orange, spice, fresh butter and is bright, saline and long.
Pair with a wide range of foods: Chinese, curries, and savory noodle, fish, poultry and pork dishes (acidic dishes perhaps better with Fino/Manzanilla), charcuterie, nuts. One to experiment with at the table!
Bottled seeing only plate filters at the bodega (a very loose filtration, to catch any debris that came from the barrel, which does not effect the wine), and no other treatments whatsoever. 18.5% abv.
