La Guita, Palomino "Amotillado" Sherry, Spain 500mL

From the historic La Guita bodega in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, this exceptional amontillado represents the art of dual aging—beginning as a fino under protective flor yeast before transitioning to oxidative aging for remarkable complexity. The selection comes from the historical La Guita bodega in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Victoria at La Guita effortlessly brings this sherry style to life. The unique system of criaderas and soleras, where the wine is an average of 15 years old (having spent ten undergoing biological aging and five undergoing oxidative aging), creates a sherry of extraordinary depth and elegance.

Tasting Notes

The richness and depth of the oxidative aromatics, including caramelised hazelnuts and sweet butterscotch, is tempered wonderfully by a refreshing salty tang on the palate. Dried fruits (walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds) appear on the nose. Caramel and spices are also noticeable. Nutty, with hints of sweet tobacco and vanilla. Naturally dry, complex and intriguing. Weighty with powerful nut and alcohol finish. Like all wines of this type, its dryness stands out, it is very tasty and saline, well balanced, leaving an elegant and persistent taste on the palate.

Pairs With

Blue fish (especially tuna), wild mushrooms, semi-cured cheeses, fisherman's stew
