Amontillado La Cigarrera

A fresh, light and thoroughly enjoyable amontillado from Sanlúcar, less “fat” than the amontillados of Jerez. A wine that brings together the best of two worlds: the freshness of the manzanilla it once was, with the maturity and complexity of its later crianza oxidativa.

Tasting note

Winemaking

This wine starts life as a manzanilla which, after four or five years of crianza biológica, is fortified to 18% vol., causing the flor to disappear. It then rests as long again in century-old botas in contact with oxygen.

House recommendation

Serve between 12ºC and 14ºC in a wide glass.
